The Locality: Among mountains and valleys rich in waters and springs, all flowing into the Biferno or Trigno rivers, this little center, built on a hill around the castle and church, appeared for the first time in historical records with the name Turellam in the catalogue of the Angevin barons; in the following centuries the fiefdom changed many lords, the last of them being the Francone family. The economy of the population is mainly based on agriculture and the raising of sheep and pigs, as well as a lively honey-production.
