The town originated in 797, when Gisulf, abbot of Montecassino, created here a small monastic community. In the Middle Ages it had a castle commanding the Liri-Garigliano valley, now in ruins. It became part of the Lazio region in 1927. Due to its position across the Gustav Line, during World War II it suffered relevant destructions.
