Medieval village built on a slope between the 10th and 12th centuries around a small Benedictine settlement and the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie.

The history of Cervino begins in the early Middle Ages with small clusters near the Via Appia, each around a chapel: Morrilli developed around the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, San Marzano around that of San Marciano. The main core, today's centre, grew higher up, along a steep slope, between 970 and 1113.At its origin there was probably a small building of the Benedictine Order on today's Via Vittorio Veneto. Around the year 1000, along the road to Durazzano, the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie was founded. We recommend exploring the uphill lanes on foot, imagining the village spreading out from its churches.
