History

During the 20th Century, the municipal population of Filignano has been decreasing due to emigration in Northern Italy and in the United Kingdom. Cerasuolo is, among the 13 municipal villages,[4] the most populated by a community of Italian Scots, children and grandchildren of Filignanese immigrants, returning from Scotland. An event that celebrates this cultural link is, for example, the annual "Scottish Festival Fish & Chips".[5][6]

Geography

Located at circa 1 km from the borders of Molise with the Province of Frosinone, Lazio, Cerasuolo is the only hamlet within the northern branch of its municipality. It is a hill villages below the Mainarde mountains, close to the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park.

The village is 4 km far from Cardito, 8 from Filignano and 19 from Venafro. It is crossed in the middle by a provincial road and close to the national highway SS 627 Sora-Isernia. Nearby the SS 627, linking the village to Scapoli (14 km), San Biagio Saracinisco (12 km), and Vallerotonda (17 km), there are the medieval ruins of Cerasuolo Vecchio (i.e. "Old Cerasuolo").[7]

gollark: The chipsets are still not 7nm, right? As well as the 1st/2nd gen ones they still seem to sell (they're available very cheaply, at least) and some mobile CPUs.
gollark: They used (still use, I think?) Global Foundries for 12nm/14nm parts.
gollark: Intel, I mean.
gollark: It's been claimed that they were too aggressive, that they tried to do stuff without waiting for EUV technology to come along, that they just went down the wrong development paths, and probably a lot of otherr things.
