Raviscanina: a small town rich in history and traditions

Hello everyone! Today I want to talk to you about Raviscanina, a small town in the province of Caserta in Campania, which has just over 1,100 inhabitants.

History

Its history dates back to the fifteenth century when a group of residents from "Rupe Canina" - at the time under the control of the Marzano - settled downstream, founding two settlements: Sant'Angelo d'Alife and Raviscanina.

For a brief period, from 1927 to 1945, this town belonged to the province of Benevento. However, today it is part of the province of Caserta.
