With the ancient denomination Campania felix, which included a much larger territory, we indicate the province of Caserta, the northernmost of Campania and third in terms of number of inhabitants, which borders on Lazio, Molise, the Province of Benevento and the Metropolitan Area of Naples. Its 2,651 square kilometers include 104 Municipalities. It can be reached by various railway lines, including internal connections, with the Autostrada del Sole A1 Milano Napoli and with the A30 Caserta Salerno. It is served on the coastal strip by the Domitiana state road SS 7 quater and in the interior by the Ponti della Valle state road SS 265 and by the State road of the Reggia di Caserta SS 700.
It has nothing to do with the mythical hero and king of the Aeneid evoked by its name. Evandro is just the evolution of the original toponym, Rocca di Vandra, already in use before the 11th century, indicating the village perched with its castle on the hill of Monte Camino’s slopes, between Aurunci and Mainarde, watching over the Garigliano valley.
Separated by only few kilometers. Enough to keep them divided for centuries before becoming a minimum distance between the two souls of a single municipality, formally born on May 4, 1811, in the middle of the French decade.
