Pontecorvo

Pontecorvo lies along the Liri River in southern Lazio, with its built-up centre rising from the river plain toward low, cultivated hills. The name recalls a former bridge across the Liri, while the town’s medieval core is marked by the Torre di Rodoaldo, a surviving defensive tower. Pontecorvo also lent its name to a Napoleonic principality granted to Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, who later became King Charles XIV John of Sweden. In local kitchens, the long red Peperone di Pontecorvo holds DOP status and is celebrated at an annual festival.
