History

The ancient town of Cales was located here in the municipality, which was originally settled by the Ausonians. Presumably there were up to 2,500 people, who formed the city. Cales was conquered by the Romans already 335 BC. Until the 5th century was Cale's seat of a bishop. 879 the city was destroyed by the Saracens. Under the Normans, the city was then built again. 1818 the diocese, which in the newly established town of Calvi had his seat, lifted and incorporated into the diocese of Teano.

Traffic

Through the community, the Autostrada A1 lead from Rome to Naples and - approximately parallel to - the Strada Statale 6 Casilina.
