The town of ATESSA has a long history, dating back to the Roman period. Located in the lower valley of the Sangro river has origins dated back after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, around the 8th and 9th century It lies on 435 meters above sea level with 10558 inhabitants. Some doors and remains of walls, stand on the streets of the city, together with prestigious seventeenth-century and eighteenth-century palaces. A legend told that the Holy Bishop Leucio of Brindisi, passing through the Atessa area, killed a ferocious dragon who lived in the valley of Rio Falco and claimed human and innocent victims, but above all he prevented the inhabitants of two villages, Ate and Tixa, from hang out and get together. The elimination of the monster therefore starts the process of conurbation of the two inhabited areas, probably ancient Lombard settlements, in whose welding node a temple dedicated to the Saint is erected. In the town there are many shop of any kind, hospital, schools, good restaurants and pizzeria, bars, supermarket.
