	TERRITORY OF SAMNITES
		The center of hinterland of southern Italy was the territory historically recognized for the presence of the Samnites' occupation.

		Both these two small networks, following the highlands of the Volturno's river, as defined around the IV century b.C., constituted a matrix of the road uniting the plains of Capua with those of the Sangro's river.

		The Sangro bed was between three and four hundred yards wide, its depth varied between twelve and eighteen inches in summer, but a spate of rain could make it rise to five feet in autumn and winter.
		Also the Sangro, usually at a depth of 12 to 18 inches, is too shallow for frogmen to operate; when in full spate after a flash flood this rises to four and five feet, but then it is far too swift for a frogman to enter.
		The rivers where there was a military delay and tremendous loss of life were the River Liri and Rapido River, the two main arteries which join to become the Garigliano, at the head and side of the Liri Valley.

		The suburb is known as "St. Antonio to the Bridge" (S.Antonio al Ponte), because it was near a bridge of the Sangro river, at the crossing of sheep-tracks which were parallel and perpendicular to the same river.
		Considering such dates, there was probably a previous chapel and this place was in fact important in relation to the bridge over the Sangro river as the crossing of different sheep-tracks resulted in a very crowded area.
		Beside the church there are two sheep-tracks, the first one crosses the Sangro river while the other one skirts the right side of the river.

		The narrow river flat in front was thickly cultivated with olive groves, vineyards and orchards; the river itself, unbridged in this vicinity, ran swiftly in several channels between shingle banks; on the other side, beyond marshy ground, was another road, overlooked by steep hills and in places almost vertical cliffs.
		It was intended that the brigade should cross the Sangro on the night of 23–24 November, but heavy rain had brought a rise in the level of the river and a 24-hour postponement was ordered.
		The level of the river had fallen sufficiently for this to be possible with the assistance of ropes.

		The Sangro Valley Project was established in 1994 by John Lloyd (Oxford University), Neil Christie (Leicester University), and Amalia Faustoferri (Italian Archaeological Superintendency).
		The Sangro River begins in the mountainous upland plateau of the Apennines of central Italy (now the modern provinces of the Abruzzo and the Molise, an area that in part corresponds to the territory of ancient Samnium) and flows east to the Adriatic coast.
		The planned touring itinerary will introduce you to the three areas of the Val di Sangro: the mountainous upland region of the Maiella massif and the National Parks, the middle valley where the Monte Pallano excavations are located, and the coastal plain, famous for its traditions of fishing and sea-trade.
