Virgil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1634 words)
Virgil was born in the village of Andes, near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul (Gaul south of the Alps, present-day northern Italy).
The tomb known as "Virgil's tomb", is found at its entrance of Posilippo Cave (also known as "grotta vecchia") in the Parco Virgiliano, located in the Piedigrotta district not far from Naples, on the road heading north along the coast.
