Chieuti - PLEUTI - QIVT - QIFTI (FG)
The country in sec. XVI was a small fortress, and there are still witness the four octagonal towers at the corners of the walls throughout the circondano.Col Over time, the population grew, because, after the death of Skanderbeg and the invasion of Albania by the Turks , arrived in Italy and also in Chieuti many Albanian families, the last of whom settled there in 1680 at the head of Monaco Sevasti
Chieuti George became the main religious and cultural center of the group of colonies of the Diocese of Larino. In 1595 there were 168 fires (about 750 pop.) And had a greek rite church dedicated to St. George. Over time also settled in the country of the Latins, who used for their rituals the same Greek church, while the Latin parish was established only towards 1734 with the title of S. Maria degli Angeli.
