About Celano

Celano is a city and comune within the Province of L'Aquila, important Italy, a 120 km east of Rome by using rail. Celano rises on the top of a hill inside the territory of Marsica, under the mountain variety of Sirente. It faces the valley of Fucino, once filled with the aid of the large Fucine Lake, which became drained during the 19th century. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Celano suffered from the invasions of Lombards. The town passed beneath Byzantine control, and became then subdued with the aid of the Lombards and ruled with the aid of the duchies of Spoleto and Benevento.

From the 8th century, Charlemagne and his descendants ruled the Marsica place independently of Spoleto, raising it to the rank of county. Celano was elected Caput Marsorum, governed by way of the Berardi own family. From around the year 1140, it become captured through the Normans, who annexed it to the Kingdom of Sicily. Fearing that Marsica became turning into too powerful, within the year 1223 Emperor Frederick II ordered his military to break the castles of the place. Celano suffered an extended siege, which ended with its defeat and total destruction and the exile of its complete male populace to Sicily and Malta. Once the feudal rights of Celano had been abolished the area came under the jurisdiction of the Giustizierato of Abruzzo, with Sulmona as capital.
