history

The ancient city of Cales was located here in the municipality that was originally settled by the Aurunkians . It was probably up to 2,500 people who made up the city. Cales was conquered by the Romans as early as 335 BC. Cales was the seat of a bishop until the 5th century. In 879 the city was destroyed by the Saracens. The city was then rebuilt under the Normans. In 1818 the diocese, which had its seat in the newly established city of Calvi, was abolished and incorporated into the diocese of Teano.
