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.
Symbols
The symbol of the town of Raviscanina was granted by decree of the President of the Republic on January 7, 2010: the coat of arms depicts a hilly landscape with a castle on top, while the gonfalon is red.
