Succivo: an ancient and charming town in Campania
Hello friends, today I will talk to you about Succivo, a town in the province of Caserta in Campania, which has a population of about 8,614 inhabitants.

Physical geography
Succivo lies in the agro atellano, southeast of agro aversano, right next to the ancient city of Atella.
Etymology
The name Succivo comes from the Latin ''subsecivusager'', which referred to the poor land, i.e. the remains of uncultivated and unassignable land.
History
The oldest documents mentioning Teverolaccio, also known as ''Castello di Teverolaccio'', ''Piano di Teverolaccio'', ''Borgo di Teverolaccio'' and ''Casale di Teverolaccio'', date back to 1522. In that period, the owner of that place was Baron Giovan Battista Palumbo.
Teverolaccio is one of the most attractive places in the town, composed of a tower, a castle, a church dedicated to San Sossio and a cluster of houses, all enclosed by walls, the perimeter of which is still clearly visible. Before the establishment of the municipality of Atella di Napoli, it also included Casapuzzano.
