At Canonica there are still stretches of cyclopean walls, the blocks the Samnites fitted together without mortar. Today's village came later, and for centuries it was not Molise at all: it belonged to Abruzzo Ultra, the district of Sulmona, and passed to the county of Molise only at the start of the nineteenth century.
The name has always been the same: Foruli, Forolo, Foroli, then Forlì, with the del Sannio coming much later. The village, 735 residents, sits among woods between 370 and 1,130 metres; the Vandrella torrent runs through it, and in via Tolfo the houses are still all of stone.
