COMUNE DI ROCCASECCA DEI VOLSCI











This stands on a spur of Mt. Curio, at the base of which flows the Amaseno river. Its ter-ritory is bound to the east by Mt. Alto (821 m.), to the south by Mt. Curio (616 m.), by Mt. Le Sirene (711 m.) to the west and by the Amaseno valley to the north. Te area abounds with woods and pastures. Ilex, chestnut, hornbeam and elm trees grow on the north-east side. The mediaeval core of the old centreremains virtually intact, with narrow streets arranged in concentric rings leading to the heart of the town, which is Piazza Um-berto I with the church of St.Maria Assunta and the Baronial Castle which houses the museum Storico della Massoneria. At the top of the town rises the classical templet of St. Raffaele with a cycle of frescoes attributed to the school of Domenichino. On the edge of the town are the church of St. Croce, the “Condotto del diavolo” and the 16th-17th cen-tury circular templet of St.Maria della Pace. Typical local production include oil, olives and cheese and there is much lamb and goat farming.
