Carovilli

Province of Isernia, Molise region, Italy

Placed on a high rock just below Monte Ferrante, where megalithic walls can still be seen, Carovilli takes its name from a small village founded by veteran soldiers of the Roman army in honor of their former commander, consul Spurius Carvilius. In the Middle Ages it was a dominion of the Borrello Counts, then passed in 1390 to Gurrello Origlia. In the 16th century it was a possession of the Marchesano family, followed by the D'Alessandro, who were the last lords until feudalism was suppressed in 1806.
