COMUNE DI PROSSEDI
Situated on a hill on the border with the province of Frosinone, at the base of which lies the Amaseno valley, this has a hamlet (Pisterzo) which is actually a village in itself. Sev-eral intervention made during the 18th century altered the mediaeval urban space, such at the Belvedere and church areas. However there are still sections of wall, the Romanesque church of St. Nicola, situated at the top of a small flight of steps, the baronial palace with moat, gate with clock and public fountain like that built by Benedict XIII at the entrance of the village, now close to the main Frosinone road. The stone houses are placed closely together and the alleys climb upwards to Palazzo Gabrielli, Palazzo del Capitano and the church of St.Michele Arcangelo. The main local celebrations are held in Pisterzo and are the fig festival, the 7 soups evenings with tasting of characteristic local soups, and the feast of St.Michele Arcangelo
