Posta Fibreno (FR) - The Nature Reserve

The Lago di Posta Fibreno regional nature reserve is one of the regional nature reserves established by the Lazio Region and managed in collaboration with the municipal administration of Posta Fibreno. It is famous for hiding a real floating island in the vegetation of the reeds, already mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis historia. It was established in 1983. Managed in collaboration with the WWF until 1999, it is currently administered by the Lazio Region and the Municipality of Posta Fibreno which regulates the recruitment of personnel and the management of the budget. It extends for about 400 hectares completely within the limits of the municipal territory of Posta Fibreno, located on the Lazio side of the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise in the Province of Frosinone and includes the surface of the homonymous lake (about 300 m asl), the southern and eastern shores, the banks of the Rio Carpello and part of the hilly area (max 500 meters above sea level) between the localities of Carpello and Vallone della Pica on the border with the municipalities of Campoli Appennino and Broccostella. The naturalization of the territory occupies an increasingly large area but the western shore of the lake is very urbanized due to the development of ancient rural settlements and a weak tourist reception activity (mainly catering). The hamlet of Casalvittoria grows to the south, joining the historic center of Posta Fibreno with the former Vandra state road and the Avezzano-Sora-Cassino highway.

Priverno. Co-Cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata

The diocese of Priverno has very ancient origins (figures of martyrs from the early centuries and the recent discovery of the remains of the ancient Paleochristian Cathedral in the archaeological site of Privernum, a Roman city). But the first certain evidence (documents and acts of jurisdiction) date back to the second half of the 8th century, when the signature of Bishop Boniface of Priverno also appears among the signatories of the acts of the Lateran Council called by Pope Stephen III. The diocesan cathedral, also very remote, was destroyed by a fire in 1159, later rebuilt and consecrated by Pope Lucius III in 1183. The building was renovated with various attempts starting from the seventeenth century until reaching the current layout with the addition of the side chapels. The final restoration, which took place between 1776 and 1780, brought about some alterations in a Baroque style with a central-southern influence.
