Capistrello

Capistrello follows the Liri River through Abruzzo’s Valle Roveto, and this Apennine passage links the former Fucino basin with the lower Liri valley. Wooded slopes rise around the river corridor, while the drained Fucino plain lies beyond the surrounding hills. The town’s defining historical association is with the Cunicoli di Claudio, Roman tunnels begun under Emperor Claudius to carry water from Lake Fucino toward the Liri. The 19th-century drainage of Fucino transformed the wider area, yet this ancient engineering remains a significant reference point for the valley.
