century, which houses numerous art treasures;<br />

the15th-century Church of S. Maria Assunta, near<br />

the ancient Roman forum; the church and former<br />

convent of San Domenico; the church and<br />

convent of S. Francesco, restored in the 14th<br />

century. In the historic centre the old Jewish<br />

quarter, known as Giudea, is almost perfectly<br />

preserved.<br />

Along the Appian Way, at the west gates of the city,<br />

lies the small Madonna del Soccorso church. In the<br />

nearby countryside one can see the remains of the<br />

grandiose S. Magno Monastery complex at the foot<br />

of Monte Arcano, on the summit of which is a<br />

small sanctuary dedicated to the Madonna della<br />

Rocca, which is a popular pilgrimage site.<br />

Fondi’s present-day prosperity is no less important<br />

than its historic patrimony. The local economy is<br />

based on agriculture and the promotion of its farm<br />

products: Fondi has one of the leading produce<br />

markets in Italy, the Mercato Ortofrutticolo di<br />

Fondi, which merchandises and sells thousands of<br />

tons of products every year. Tourism is the latest<br />

addition to the local economy and is growing<br />

rapidly, with some hotels and above all large<br />

campgrounds along the Salto di Fondi coastline;<br />

many of these latter, for their size and the services<br />

they offer, are veritable tourist villages that organize<br />

recreational activities and shows for their<br />

guests.Fondi offers visitors many local festivals, as<br />

well as cultural and sports events.<br />

S.Magno am Fuß des Monte Arcano besichtigen; auf dem<br />

Gipfel erhebt sich ein kleines, der Madonna della Rocca<br />

gewidmetes Heiligtum, <strong>das</strong> Ziel frommer Pilgerer ist.<br />

Nun zu den nicht weniger bedeutenden, in die Gegenwart<br />

gehörenden Reichtümern, die auf einer blühenden<br />

Agrarwirtschaft und dem Handel mit deren Produkten<br />

basieren: in Fondi befindet sich einer der wichtigsten Obst- und<br />

Gemüsegroßmärkte Italiens, der M.O.F. – Mercato<br />

ortofrutticolo di Fondi – auf dem pro Jahr Tausende Tonnen<br />

von Agraprprodukten umgesetzt werden.<br />

Der Tourismus ist mit Sicherheit der jüngste, aber sich rasch<br />

entwickelnde Sektor, mit mehreren Hotels und vor allem<br />

großen Campingplätzen an der Küste von Salto di Fondi, von<br />

denen zahlreiche durch ihre Größe und die gebotenen<br />

Leistungen richtiggehende Dörfer sind, die die verschiedensten<br />

Sport- und Freizeitanlagen und Animationen bieten<br />

Zahlreich sind die jährlichen Folklore- und<br />

Sportveranstaltungen von Fondi.<br />
