Historical references by Cicero and Plutarch refer to a residence of one Caius Pomponius Atticus a noble family descendant of Rome and personal friend of Cicero. Cicero and his brother Quintus were from Arpino a nearby town. Some constructions have been attributed to Atticus namely a Roman six-arch bridge crossing the Melfa river below Casalattico, of which one complete arch remains and a written stone in MontAttico town.
