Good to know
- It was 7 April 1944 when Nazi troops entered Fragheto, in the municipal territory of Casteldelci, searching for the partisans of the Brigata Garibaldi, who had been hidden there by local residents. The discovery and the ensuing clash triggered German reprisals: 15 women, 7 children and 2 elderly people were killed. The young men had gone into hiding, in the belief that the Germans would spare civilians who posed no political threat. But that was not the case.
