Casalduni

A Bit of History

When the Italian laws for registering births were established in 1806, custom dictated that the father present the baby, to announce its birth, to the Ufficiale dello Stato Civile del Comune di Casalduni, Distretto di Pontelandolfo, Regione di Molise.  Later, Campobasso became the Province.  After 1861 with the unification of Italy Casalduni and most of the nearby villages  including Pontelandolfo were under the jurisdiction of the Province of Benevento.
