The territory of Arpinum, now Arpino, was in the Volscian mountains.
Caravaggio and his followers were mere naturalists; Arpino and his scholars pure idealists.
The family had been long settled at Arpinum, now Arpino, a Volscian town.
Similar methods of construction are found at Tusculum and in a gateway at Arpino.
Above the altar is the finest fresco in the basilica, the Ascension by Arpino, 1600.
