What else ...

Until the 1900s a few families lived a very simple life in this tiny hamlet. They lived off the land around them, raising animals and cultivating fruit trees and vegetables. As a result, they were completely self-sufficient.

They sold the surplus of their locally renowned produce at markets in the nearby town. After the Second World War it became clear it was not possible to make a living from agriculture. The villagers gradually started to leave in search of better opportunities in more developed regions of Italy as well as the United States and Canada. Although it feels more remote, the village lies only five kilometres from Sora.
