D'Annunzio's room

D’ANNUNZIO’S ROOM

In the years of sincere and “fraternal” friendship, D’Annunzio came to seek refuge in Casoli, as a guest in the Castle of his young friend Pasquale Masciantonio.

Of his stays in the manor D’ Annunzio writes in various letters. It is certain that in Casoli he found the happier vein of his playful behavior, indulging in writes on the walls of the room where he slept or during the meetings with the cheerful company of friends, poems, couplets and stanzas, created there by there, as well as maxims, sentences and passages of prose, some of which can still be read today in the study room of the Castle where the Masciantonio family had kept them and treasured as precious memories of a happy period for Casoli.
