Piedimonte di Cassino

Does anyone know when the town of Piedimonte di Cassino last existed? Was it absorbed by the growing city of Cassino, or abandoned or bombed?

Hi.. it could be Piedimonte San Germano, just 8 km (circa) far from Cassino

It could be but his birth certificate said Piedimonti di Cassino. There are several Piedimontes in the area. Do you know what Piedimonti means? A small town near a large town? Small town near the base of a mountain?

the old name of Cassino was San Germano; so Piedimonte di (of) Cassino is Piedimonte San Germano

Thank you. I wish I had known that last week when I was visiting the area.
