The Park, lost in the mists of time
The Regional Park of Roccamonfina - Foce Garigliano, situated in the heart of the Region of Campania, extends over around 9,000 hectares between the territories of lower Lazio, the Molise and the urban area of Caserta. It encompasses the communes of Sessa Aurunca, Teano and five centres of the Monte Santa Croce Mountain Community: Roccamonfina, Galluccio, Conca della Campania, Marzano Appio and Tora e Piccilli.
The Park is protectively overlooked by the volcanic system of Roccamonfina, the most ancient of Vesuvius and unforgettable in its form and majesty. It consists of an external crateral circle which averages 6 km in width, defined at the highest points by Monte Santa Croce (1005 m.) and by Monte Làttani (810 m.) and by a number of volcanic cones with a semispherical cupola profile, such as Monte Atano (Casi-Teano), Colle Friello (Conca della Campania), Monte Ofelio (Sessa Aurunca).
Unique and oddly-shaped rocks recall the past volcanic activity of the area, which today is covered in chestnut trees, olive groves and vineyards. The chestnut tree adapted well to this area in part due to the mineral composition of the lava soils of Roccamonfina, optimal for the nutritional requirements of this species.
