History of Tocco da Casauria
History of the municipality of Tocco da Casauria, Italy / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The history of Tocco da Casauria traces its origins to the foundation of the first settlement of Interpromium in ancient times.[1] After the disappearance of that settlement in the Middle Ages, the present town of Tocco was formed, developing around the two most important town buildings (Caracciolo Castle and the church of St. Eustace) as a result of a succession of rivalries between the Abbey of San Clemente a Casauria, to which the territories of Tocco belonged de jure, and lords of Germanic origin who attempted to usurp them by force.[2]
