Cittaducale non è soltanto un magnifico borgo medievale. È una città nella quale quasi ogni strada, ogni pietra e ogni paesaggio conserva la traccia di una storia molto più lunga di quanto appaia a prima vista.
Questo libro attraversa Cittaducale dalle presenze più antiche del territorio alla nascita della Civitas Ducalis, dalla città angioina alla lunga stagione di frontiera, dal rapporto con l'Abruzzo e con Rieti alla vita religiosa, ai terremoti, alle guerre e alle profonde trasformazioni del Novecento. Nel racconto trovano spazio la Salaria e le acque di Cutilia, Piazza del Popolo, le mura e le porte, le chiese e i palazzi, Santa Maria di Sesto, San Vittorino, la Scuola Forestale, le frazioni, il mondo agricolo, l'industrializzazione e la crisi delle grandi fabbriche, fino alla Cittaducale contemporanea.
Accanto alla grande storia emergono però anche le persone e la vita quotidiana: il lavoro nei campi e nelle fabbriche, le devozioni, la banda musicale, gli Alpini, le associazioni, le feste, le cantine, lo sport, le sagne alla molinara e quelle tradizioni attraverso le quali una comunità continua a riconoscersi.
Il volume nasce da un'ampia ricerca documentaria e cerca di distinguere con attenzione i fatti storicamente verificabili dalle interpretazioni, dalle leggende e dalle tradizioni tramandate. Non vuole trasformare Cittaducale in una cartolina perfetta, ma raccontarla anche attraverso le sue ferite, i terremoti, le guerre, le crisi, le trasformazioni e le pagine meno conosciute della sua storia.
Scritto in uno stile narrativo, semplice e accessibile, Cittaducale - Il magnifico borgo è rivolto ai civitesi, a chi ha lasciato il paese continuando a portarlo con sé, a chi vive nelle sue frazioni, a chi desidera conoscerlo più profondamente e anche a chi lo incontrerà per la prima volta attraverso queste pagine.
Perché Cittaducale è magnifica non perché il tempo l'abbia risparmiata, ma perché il tempo vi è passato molte volte, lasciando ogni volta qualcosa da raccontare.
