Carpineto Sinello

Town in the province of Chieti in Abruzzo, it owes its name to the nearby river Sinello and the black hornbeam forest.
The town is located on a hill on the slopes of Monte Sorbo. The center dominates the valleys of the Sinello river and the Ferrato torrent. Among the various centers that dominate the Sinello river valley, Carpineto Sinello is the one that retains the greatest physical dependence on the proximity of the watercourse: the territory was very equipped with mills (the land offered abundant wheat, as well as olive oil and wine to be resold even outside the country) and the fishing was very active.

History

The first mention of the municipality is in 1156 when it is mentioned in the Catalogus Baronum when it was a fiefdom of Roberto di Monteferrante for favors of Symon conte di Sangro. In the twentieth century archaeological finds were found at the church of Santa Maria ad Sinellum which is still in 1568 while it is ruined in the XVIII century. Later it results from various successor feudal lords of the di Sangro after the fifteenth century (according to some scholars from 1576) including the Acclozzamora, the Pignatelli, Giulio Gesualdo, Girolamo Diaz and the Bassi, then related to the D’Alanno.
