Cisterna di Latina (Lazio)

Cisterna di Latina is a town and comune in the province of Latina in Lazio, of central Italy. It was the scene of the Battle of Cisterna in January 1944.

The Garden of Ninfa is located in the commune's territory. The town, then known as Tres Tabernae ("The Three Taverns" is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as one of the towns where Saint Paul stopped on his way to Rome. 

Palazzo Caetani, built in 1560-1574 by cardinal Bonifazio Caetani under design of Francesco da Volterra, above the remains of the Frangipani castle. Damaged during World War II by allied bombings, it houses frescoes by Girolamo Siciolante da Sermoneta, Federico Zuccari and Taddeo Zuccari. A museum in the interior is dedicated to the horse and its shepherding in the area, with works by Aligi Sassu and others. The grottoes beneath it, traditionally the cisterns whence the city's name came though more likely ancient quarries of tuff and pozzolan later used as catacombs, are still partially unexplored.

My husband and I live in New York.  His relatives have informed us that inherited property in Broccostella has been sold and they have an ‘assegno circolare’ in his name for his share of the sale.

I am looking for an English/Spanish teaching job at a university. Is there any contact information I could get to address my request?
