COMUNE DI SS. COSMA E DAMIANO
This is the southernmost commune in the province of Latina together with Castelforte with which it virtaully forms a single centre overlooking the Garigliano Plain. In the up-per part of Santi Cosma e Damiano is the hamlet of Ventosa, which has a fine tower and the remains of watch and defence towers; it conserves the craft of staw-working. Of the ancient buildings, nearly all destroyed by Worl War II bombing, Palazzo Tibaldi and the church of Santi Cosma e Damiano survive. The traitionale carnival parade is accompanied by a sausage festival and nature-lovers should remember the mountain festival.
