history

The ancient city of Cluviae is in the municipal area.

After Italy entered the war in June 1940, the fascist regime set up an internment camp ( campo di concentramento ) in Casoli . The camp was spread over two buildings within the settlement, a private house - Casa Tilli - and a former school. Due to the dampness on the first floor, Casa Tilli was abandoned in 1941 and replaced by a former cinema. The internees (30 in 1941, 87 in 1942) were predominantly German and Austrian Jews who were relocated in 1942 to make way for Yugoslav internees.
