==History== Prehistoric findings have been excavated in the area, but the first known inhabitants of Galluccio were, in historic times, the Aurunci. When they were defeated by the Romans, they founded a colony here, which, according to tradition, took its name from one Trebonius Gallus. In the early Middle Ages, the Saracens built here a stronghold, as testified by a locality called "Saraceni". After their defeat, in 915, the area was acquired by the Princes of Capua.
