Pontelandolfo is an Italian town and ''comune'' of , in the Sannio Hills in the province of Benevento halfway between Naples and Campobasso, with around 3,000 inhabitants. ==History== The area of today's Pontelandolfo was settled since very ancient times. The name of the village comes from the legendary ''Pontis Landulphi'', or the ''Bridge of Landolpho'', who died defending the bridge against the Romans while the villagers fled to safety, an event memorialized in the village's crest. The bridge is believed to have spanned the Lenta River.〔 A. Iamalio, P. Federico, G. Ardia: ''La Regina del Sannio''. Naples, 1918, pg. 226.〕 Pontelandolfo is mostly remembered as the location, along with Casalduni, of a massacre of largely innocent population by the Piedmontese occupation troops in 1861. Many villagers emigrated to the United States, with a large community settling in and around Waterbury, Connecticut, where they founded the Pontelandolfo Community Club. A large number also moved to Canada, specifically to the city of Montreal.
