Topography

This little farming town, situated on a white limestone bastion, was founded after the earthquake of 1693. Until 1935 it was known as Spaccaforno.

There are some Baroque churches, including the Chiesa Madre (around 1750), dedicated to St Bartholomew, which has a dominating position in the Piazza. Another side of the tree-lined rectangular square with its war memorial is bordered by the Palazzo Comm. Antonini Bruno (1910).
