The Millenium
Campodipietra certainly has its 1000 years of long-lived glory: its name,
in fact, appears written for the first time in history in 1022, when Arrigo
lo Zoppo, coming down to Italy to fight the Byzantines, made a stopover
in our village. And the village secular foundation is witnessed by an
oak twig in its coat of arms, where the other of laurel confirms glorius
its presence in noble Molise.
Celebrating the milestone of its MILLENNIUM we take a cue to underscore
that, consequently, the laying of the first stone of its homes must go
back to somewhat earlier in time and, perhaps, well ahead of the year
1000.
We are recording it in this social culture page of th.e Campodipietra
website in Montreal to ensure our unity of spirit in the celebrations
organized for the occasion by our fellow villagers who reside in our hometown!
