DomodossolaDomodossola is a city in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, in the region of Piedmont, Italy, earlier known as Oscela, Oscella, Oscella dei Leponzi, Ossolo, Ossola Lepontiorum, and Domo d'Ossola (because its in the Ossola valley). Domodossola was the chief town of the Lepontii when the Roman Empire conquered the region in 12 BC. Domodossola is situated at the junction of the Bogna and Toce Rivers, and is home to 18,500 people, mostly Italian speaking and Roman Catholic in religion. The city is located at the foot of the Italian alps, and acts as a minor passenger-rail hub. Its strategic location accommodates Swiss rail passengers, acting as an international stop-point between Locarno (a Swiss city of Italian language) and Brig (a Swiss city of German language). On occasion, a visitor may hear German-Swiss trainhoppers commenting about Domodossola's departure schedules--which instead of being traditionally-punctual, usually serves as a liberal reference-point.
