History

The first mention dates back to 1173 in a papal bull which confirmed the boundaries of the diocese of Chieti. It was later of the d'Avalos and Caracciolo families. Formerly the town was in another area, perhaps in Taverna, but then was moved to where it is today because of raids by Saracens and Slavs.
