Quadrilocale in Sant'Elia Fiumerapido

The cluster sits in the Liri valley at the foot of the central Apennines, with Monte Cairo and the mountains around Cassino within the 15 km radius. The Rapido and Gari river system is part of the local landscape here. The area lies beside the Parco Regionale dei Monti Aurunci only farther west, so that does not define the immediate setting. The nearest sizeable town is Cassino, which has full services, a university and the abbey of Montecassino on the hill above the town. The area is also known for the Montecassino battlefields of the Second World War.
