Villa Romagnoli, a village of one thousand souls located just four kilometers from Lanciano, holds a millennia-old history deeply rooted in the ancient world. From the archaeological evidence of the Italic period to the discovery of a Roman cinerary urn, this territory has endured centuries of prosperity and abandonment, always rising anew from its ashes.
A farmhouse that has changed its name over time - from Santa Vittoria to Villa Mozzagrogna, and finally to its current designation - like archaeological layers of a memory not lost, but still resonating today in the names of the patron saint and the municipality.
Devastating plagues, catastrophic earthquakes, and famines have often depopulated the area completely, reducing it to ghost territory. Yet, every time, new communities have come to breathe life into these lands once again. This is a story of resilience that speaks to the indomitable human capacity to rebuild and start anew.
A precious notarial deed also unveiled the origins of the Romagnoli family in the Frentano area. In 1719, a seventy-year-old man decides to visit a notary to recount and have put into writing the story of his family, revealing surprising details about their ancestry. This document sheds new light on the birth of the community from which the village takes its name.
Based on authoritative sources such as the studies of Anton Ludovico Antinori and Florindo Carabba, this volume weaves grand history with local events - from the Napoleonic invasions to Spanish dominations, from the Risorgimento uprisings to the earthquakes that caused tsunamis at the mouth of the Sangro River. Alongside the Frentano capital, the narrative embraces the neighboring towns of Santa Maria Imbaro and Pietra Costantina, demonstrating how even small villages can be guardians of precious memories essential to understanding major historical transformations.
