It would take too long to remember all the historical information referring to the mouth of the Sangro and we will only mention the most important. There was a port in ancient times and also in medieval times. In 972 the river towards the mouth was donated by the Marquis Trasmondo to the abbey of San Giovanni in Venere. In 1194 the militias of Henry VI of Swabia and other regions stopped near the mouth of this river, bringing desolation to many countries. Oderisio II, abbot of San Giovanni in Venere, had the salt pans built which, in 1383, were given as a pledge to Paglieta. Federico Carafa, coming from Barletta, stopped with 26 boats at the mouth of the Sangro. (...) In an epoch that cannot be specified, the tower was erected near the mouth of which now miserable remains remain, and the stone bombards were found nearby, excavating the foundations for the extension of the railway bridge, carried out approximately twenty years ago."
