The place
Situated along the Sinello river among the hills, a few km from the sea and the important Adriatic resort of Vasto, Cupello has been an important community since the early XIX century.
History:
The area was inhabited in roman times, as shown by archeological remains of a human settlement mainly involved in sheep raising and "transumance". The present town existed in the XV century, and reached importance under the d'Avalos family, who greatly promoted agriculture employing groups of slavic refugees fleeing the Turkish invasion (these poor labourers were called "schiavoni").
