[edit] History
It was the ancient Cluviae, a city of the Caraceni: his territory was most probably conquered by Lombards in the 6th century.
The medieval name "castri de Casule" was first recorded in 878 AD in the Memoriatorium abbatis Berthari, a manuscript conserved in the Abbey of Monte Cassino.
