History
Formed by the union of several Roman "villas" (which until 1530 were part of the jurisdiction of Aquila), Lucoli was stronghold of the Colonna and later Marcantonio Palma, who bought it in 1610 for 30,000 ducats; finally it belonged to the Barberini family. On its territory once was the ancient Benedictine abbey of St. John of Collimento, founded by Count Odorisio of the Marsi family in the 11th century.
