Sannio Caudino · Valle Caudina · Campania
In the heart of the Caudine hills, where the Samnites halted the Roman legions at the Caudine Forks, rises Montesarchio — Caudium of the ancients, then a Lombard stronghold, then a Norman village, then a Swabian and Aragonese fief. Every stone of the castle, every alley of the ancient centre, bears the memory of those who lived on this land before us.
This archive collects moving images of the territory and the community: visual testimonies destined to outlast those who created them.
The visual archive of Amo Montesarchio collects historical footage, shots of the castle, monuments and landscapes of the Valle Caudina. Each video is a precious document for enhancing the cultural heritage of Montesarchio (BN, Campania) and Sannio.
From the Samnites to the Lombards, from the Normans to the Aragonese: the videos tell three thousand years of history through images of the Castle of Montesarchio, the Abbey of San Nicola, the Norman walls and the Convent of the Clarisses. A unique visual heritage in the province of Benevento.
