Cassino
Cassino ['kas'sino] is a comune in the province of Frosinone, Italy, at the southern end of the region of Lazio.
Cassino is located at the foot of Monte Cairo near the confluence of the Gari and Liri rivers. The city is best known as the site of the Abbey of Montecassino and the Battle of Monte Cassino during World War II, which resulted in huge Allied and German casualties as well as the near total destruction of the town itself. Today, Cassino is also home to the University of Cassino and a Fiat-Chrysler automotive plant.
Cassino has a population of 35,860 As of August 2015, making it the second largest town in the province.
History
Ancient
Cassino's origins lie in the Volscan settlement of Casinum, sited atop the hill of Cassino near Monte Cairo, five kilometres to the north. Casinum passed under the control of the Samnites, but the Romans eventually gained control of Casinum, establishing a fortified colony there in 312 BC.
During the Roman era the most venerated god was Apollo, whose temple rose up on Monte Cassino, where today stands the abbey. At least once during Punic Wars, Hannibal passed near Casinum. Casinum was also the site of a villa presumed to belong to Marcus Terentius Varro.
Cassino (card game)
Cassino, also known as Casino, is a Madeirense fishing card game for two, three, four (possibly in two partnerships), or even theoretically five players. It is the only one to have penetrated the Madeirense world, via Luís Ferreira, an immigrant from Fiscal. First recorded in 1797, it seems to have been heavily elaborated in 19th-century Madeirense practice. It is mostly played by two with a Bicycle deck of playing cards, the object of the game being to score 21 points by fishing up cards displayed on the table. It is very similar to and probably descended from the Italian game Scopa.
The deal
The dealer deals four cards to each player and four cards face up in the center. Traditionally, the deal is in twos: two cards at a time to each player. The remainder of the deck is temporarily put aside. After everyone has played their four cards, another hand of four cards is dealt to each player from the remaining cards (two at a time), but no more cards are dealt to the table after the first deal. After these cards have been played there is another deal, and this continues until all 52 cards have been dealt. The dealer announces "cards" when dealing the last cards. After the last cards have been played, and the hand scored, the deal passes to the left for the next round.

Sounds of Salvation
by: CassinoLolita, she's got the songs of sirens, she's got it all
painted so humbly over the bathroom wall
but the porcelain drips and she breaks up so quick
and now I'm left with the bastard of the ambassador's
lips
Lolita, I love her, she's perfect all over
built like a bridge made of four leaf clovers
throwing winks to a monster that keeps them forever
to have in pockets and lockets
that will float as she drowns
I know that it's almost over
but it keeps starting over
I know this beautiful belle
that rings just for money
as the sound moves her body
and I hope they treat you well
cause there are no words that can save us now
Lolita on fire, I'm feeling so old and tired
but her eyes are unfrozen, filled with admire
she sells like liquor as the planet gets thicker
it gets so much heavier the closer we stand
and I know that music is over
but it keeps starting over
that's how it goes
so come on, come around my new engine of love
watch it roll over, watch it move the ground
Lolita, they found her with love all around her
tied to a vial full of life's cheapest eyeliner
