Portocannone, Province Campobasso, Molise, Italy

First recorded inthe 11th century AD with the name of "Portocandesium", changed by 1320 into "Porto Canduni", this little town was heavily hit by the 1456 earthquake, that destroyed most of the houses killing half the population. In the 16th century a Slavic community led by Giorgio Castriota Skanderberg was sent to populate the area, and still today there are traces in the tradition and language of this immigration.
