Acquafondata (deep water) is so named because of the presence of a lake or a spring. It was born in the Middle Ages and around 1000 was donated to the Abbey of Monte Cassino and in the nineteenth century was part of the Bourbon Kingdom. After the unification of Italy there was a strong resistance in these areas at the hands of bandits whose stories are still told in the oral tradition. Acquafondata was on the Gustav line and close to the Reinhard Line in World War II and was completely destroyed by bombing.
