Step into the historical city of Civitella, known for some remarkable events in Italian history. Did you know that during the Unification of Italy in 1861, Civitella stood as the last city to accept unification? It's a remarkable testament to their independence and resilience. Back in 1816, Civitella became a part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, but it holds a special place in the hearts of Italians. The mighty fortress of Civitella also showcases the kingdom's brave last stand, even after surrendering in Gaeta, Naples, and Sicily. Eventually, Civitella embraced the newly formed Kingdom of Italy on March 20, 1861. It's a city steeped in history and a must-visit destination for history buffs!
