 Its interesting to note how the church of Sant’Angelo (the parochial church at the time) was not build inside the walls of the city but further up on the hills.During this time the center and the houses of its inhabitants were also being built further up the valley and outside of the city walls.The political situation was also changing and Pesche became an important possession of the Monastery of Montecassino, so much so that at the time it also had papal protection.
