A must visit in Cusano Mutri. Top quality coffee and croissants for breakfast, the best choice of spirits nationally and internationally. Friendly and competent staff all year around.
🍸 Historic bar in the splendid village of 🏘️ Cusano Mutri.
Granted as a fiefdom to the Sanframondo family, who held it until the mid-1400s, Cusano subsequently passed through the hands of multiple feudal families: de Vera (1467), Gaetani (1480), Carafa, Del Tufo, Origlia, Monsorio, Barrionovo. Shortly before the subversion of feudalism the local population burned the castle (1780).
The local economy was based above all on sheep farming and the wool industry: Cusanesi woolen cloths, called "pannitti", were cheaper and less valuable than those produced in nearby Cerreto Sannita. The decline began in the second half of the eighteenth century when, among other things, the privatization of the Foggia customs put the system of transhumance in crisis.
Cusano was part of the Terra di Lavoro and, after the Unification of Italy, entered the province of Benevento within the Cerreto Sannita district.
