Cansano
Cansano (pronounced [kanˈsaːno]; Canẓánə in Abruzzese Neapolitan) is a comune in the province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region, Southern Italy. It is part of the Maiella National Park. Cansano is known for the archaeological discovery of the Italic and Roman town of Ocriticum, which has become an archaeological park.
Cansano is located 9 km (5.6 mi) from Sulmona, on a hill near the Valle Peligna, at 835 m (2,740 ft) m above sea level. The minimum altitude of the municipality of Cansano is 599 m (1,965 ft), while the maximum is 1,792 m (5,879 ft). The area of the municipal territory is 37.70 km2 (14.56 sq mi).
The town is part of an almost intact natural landscape. Part of the Maiella National Park is part of the town, and in particular, the Sant'Antonio wood and the San Leonardo pass. The position also favors travel to the most active tourist centers in the area; Campo di Giove, Pacentro, Pescocostanzo and Sulmona.
The town has a mountain climate, with hot, dry summers and cold, rainy winters. However, over time there have been variations in the climate, which is now slightly more humid in summer and less snowy in winter.
Built as a fiefdom and watchtower in the early Middle Ages, it spread mainly between the 19th and 20th centuries, following the 1706 Abruzzo earthquake. In 1904, Casano became an independent municipality. From 1807 to 1811, Cansano was a frazione of Introdacqua, then from that year until 1829 it was a frazione of Pacentro. It obtained municipal autonomy until 1846, when it was re-aggregated in Pacentro until 1855. Cansano become a frazione of Campo di Giove from 1855 to 1904, when it definitively regained municipal autonomy.
Sights include:
The demographic history of Cansano is one of the most striking examples of the Italian diaspora, given that its population, starting from the first post-war period, went from just over 1,500 people to the 282 registered in 2014. The emigrants from Cansano mainly went to Canada, the United States, South America and, to a lesser extent, to Australia, New Zealand and Northern Europe. The most common surnames in Cansano are, in descending order of diffusion, Ruscitti, De Santis, Di Paolo, Di Silvio and Di Cesare.
In Piazza XX Settembre there is the Ocriticum documentation center, inaugurated in 2004, which also contains a permanent exhibition on the emigration of the inhabitants from Cansano, as well as ex-voto objects found in the Ocriticum archaeological park.
