The municipality is located on the northern slope of Mount Taburno, between the Jenga and Serretella streams.
The historical centre of the town is located on a rocky ridge and was abandoned by people after several earthquakes.
This village originated in the early Middle Ages, and some of the earliest historical records date back to the second half of the 10th century. At that time, this place was called ‘castrum’ and was the seat of the Longobard gastaldate. Incorporated into the ‘Viturano State’ in 1811, it has been a municipality of Sannio Benevento since 1861. Since 1864, the name ‘Caudio’ has been added.
Today, the municipality has approximately 1400 inhabitants and the local economy is mostly based on agriculture, animal husbandry and handicrafts.
