State highway in Italy
Strada statale 7 Via Appia (SS 7) is an Italian state highway 713.45 kilometres (443.32 mi) long in Italy located in the regions of Lazio , Campania , Basilicata and Apulia that follows the path of the ancient Appian Way , connecting Rome to Brindisi . In the stretch between Cisterna di Latina and Terracina , the SS 7 is called "fettuccia di Terracina" ("the Terracina Ribbon") due to its straight line. It constitutes a section of the European route E90 from Taranto to Brindisi .
History
Strada statale 7 Via Appia
The modern SS 7 was established in 1928 with the following route: "Roma – Velletri – Terracina – Capua – Napoli – Marigliano – Avellino – Atripalda – Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi Junction – Lioni – Ruoti – Potenza – Laterza – Castellaneta – Taranto – Francavilla – Brindisi ."[ 1]
The motorway's route was changed in 1935, abandoning the original section from Capua to Avellino passing through Naples and Marigliano in favor of a more northern route passing through Caserta and Benevento . The abandoned route was reused as the new Strada statale 7 bis di Terra di Lavoro [it ] .[ 2]
In 1937 the route was changed again, abandoning the original section from Pozzo Grillo in Laterza through Ginosa in favor of a more northern route passing through Matera . The new route included a section that had previously been part of Strada statale 99 di Matera [it ] .[ 3]
In 1951, the branch from Formia to Gaeta was classified as a state road.[ 4]
In 1952, the branch connecting the SS 7 to the Rome-Ciampino airport was classified as a state road.[ 5]
