BOLSENA (ancient VULSINUM), a walled town of central Italy, province of Viterbo, 11 miles W. S. W. of Orvieto, on a lake of the same name. It is only noticeable for the ruins of the Etruscan goddess Nortia, a granite sarcophagus, ornamented with bas reliefs, and other remains of antiquity. This was anciently a place of great wealth and luxury, and Pliny says that when taken by the Romans, 266 B. c., it contained no less than 7,000 statues.
