History & geography

History

There are various hypotheses regarding the etymology of the word "Dugenta" and of its older variation "Ducenta". The historian Gleijeses thought that this toponym derived from 'duae gentes', in the name of the alliance between Romans and Samnites that took place in these sites during the Roman expansion. Other theories instead connect this word to the original number of the villagers, about 200, or to the Roman centuriation. The name Ducenta appeared in a certificate dating back to 833 of Sicardo, Prince of Benevento. But the first evidence results from the donation made by Carlo I to Guglielmo of Belmonte in which it was defined as 'Casale' and valued a little more of 42 ounces. Then, it was given to Guglielmo of Vaudemont; it later passed to Addo de Souliac and finally to Pietro Braherio in 1291. At this point, the feud of Ducenta was separated from the homonymous castle, in which the Duke of Guisa was incarcerated in 1648 while attempting to escape from Naples. The village passed from Siginolfo di Telese to Andrea of Capua (that bought it in 1511) and later to other possessors of the County of Caserta like Annibale Monsorio in 1563. When feudalism was abolished in 1806, the Corsi's family from Firenze was invested by the title of Marquis of Ducenta. During the battle of Volturno in 1860, Ducenta was crossed by the 8000 men of the general Von Mechel that fought against Garibaldi's army guided from general Bixio. In 1943 Germans and Americans stationed around Dugenta that suffered the tragic effects of crossfire and bombings. In 1956 Dugenta gained its independence from Melizzano becoming an autonomous municipality.

Geography

Dugenta is located along the valley of fiume Volturno and surrounded by the hills of Melizzano, Frasso Telesino, Sant'Agata de' Goti and Limatola. It is about 45 km from Benevento, 50 km from Naples and 20 km from Caserta. The residential area rises along five divergent streets, assuming a tentacled structure; however the road network is essentially composed by SSV Fondo Valle Isclero, ex SS 265 dei Ponti della Valle and by ex SS 87 Sannitica (Naples–Campobasso).
