Where the Aquilone wind blows<br />

Montaquila is made up of Montaquila centre,<br />

Masserie La Corte and Roccaravindola. Accor<strong>di</strong>ng<br />

to some stu<strong>di</strong>ouses, it was the ancient Aquilonia of<br />

Samnites. Probabily, in this village, Samnites lost<br />

their in<strong>di</strong>pendence due to Roman people. Belonged<br />

to the Roman age is also an ancient “Taverna”<br />

along the old Roman road. To the V century dates<br />

S. Maria dell’Assunta Church, while in the VIII<br />

century Montaquila belonged to the S. <strong>Vincenzo</strong> al<br />

Volturno Abbey. Montaquila inhabitants, about the<br />

X century, settled on the hill where it lies today.<br />

Especially along S.S. 158 you can see many<br />

commercial activities.<br />

The silent fortress<br />

In Roccaravindola Alta there are ruins of a Dark<br />

Middle Age fortress; in Roccaravindola Bassa there<br />

is a me<strong>di</strong>oeval little Church devoted to S. Michele<br />

Arcangelo, where there is a Roman bas-relief. Local<br />

“Rinascita Ravindolese Association” organizes here<br />

the suggestive N’coppa alla Rocca manifestation.
