Valle di Comino

The Comino Valley, or Valle di Comino, is located in the Frosinone Province in central Italy. It runs from San Biagio Saracinisco to Vicalvi and is adjacent to the Abruzzi mountains.

The name of the valley can be traced to ancient Cominium. In Livy's History of Rome, there are early references to Cominium as the site of a battle with the Samnites around 300 BC. Some suggest that the town of San Donato is the ancient Cominium, others believe the battle site was at Vicalvi.
