arrowThe place
Situated on a crest dominating the lower Sangro valley, this small centre with its strange name (derived from one of its lords) is surrounded by a rich agricultural landscape.

The early name was Villa Schiavone, and originated from a colony of Slavic refugees who made their new homes here in the XVI century, after narrowly escaping the Turks in their native land. The village suffered heavy damages during the Second Wrold War.
