THE HOUSE ON THE HILL OF LELLO
The territory of Cossignano occupies the hills of the ridge between the headwaters of the river Menocchia and the river Tesino. The old town is very small: it measures 180 m by 90 m and has an oval shape. The center is located higher than the rest of the town protected by walls. Cossignano consists of green hills more or less sweet and calanchi
Historically speaking, Cossignano is an ancient place where lived the Piceni!
Some artifacts found by archaeologists show that Cossignano was inhabited by this tribe descended from the Celts. In 286 a.c. The Romans occupied Cossignano. Cossini of Tivoli brought a lot of slaves who built a farm, logging, and so made cultivable lands surrounding the existing city. The Cossini are those who would give the area its name of the fundus Cossinianus or praedium Cossinianum. A older name may be Castellum Martis, and there is some evidence of this name found in the nearby Cupra Marittima.
It remains interesting that the slogan of Cossignano ferax et Ferox is a slogan that reveals both an aptitude for the cultivation of land, which the military art. In 233 a.c. cossignanesi become the Cives Romans sine suffrage and members of the tribe Velina together with the other Piceni and Umbrians. Many are recruited as professional soldiers in the army of Gaius Marius. This is to certify the existence of a certain Cossineo who died in the war of Sparta. At the time of Caesar and Pompeo lived perhaps the most powerful cossignanese in the history of the small country: Lucius Afranius, who sided with Pompey, and for a time was governor of Syria.
