Alvito is a town and comune in central Italy, in the province of Frosinone, south of Rome in the Lazio region.

Alvito, together with Sora, remained faithful to the Angevine line during the conquest of Alfonso V of Aragon, being conquered by the Aragonese only in 1496.

A little bit forward, on the left hand, a short small road goes uphill to the Church of S. Teresa, in a baroque style, with a high portal.

From the church, passing through a Gothic gate, is a stairway leading to the deconsecrated monastery of San Nicolas, a former Franciscan institution.

The monastery was nearly destroyed by the earthquake in 1915, restored in 1934: it has maintained the chorus and the inlaid cupboards of the 18th century, ordered by Pope Clement XIV.
