Galluccio

Galluccio is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Caserta in the Italian region Campania, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) northwest of Naples and about 45 kilometres (28 mi) northwest of Caserta.

Prehistoric findings have been excavated in the area, but the first known inhabitants of Galluccio were, in historic times, the Aurunci.

In the early Middle Ages, the Saracens built here a stronghold, as testified by a locality called "Saraceni".

At Galluccio in 1139, Roger III, Duke of Apulia ambushed Pope Innocent II and his light body of troops with only a thousand knights.

In 1504 it went to Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, who sold it in 1543 to Dorotea Spinelli.
