It can be accessed by the D343 road which comes from the National Highway N198 in the south east and passes west through the southern plain of the commune to Maison Pierraggi in the west and continues on to [Vezzani](/source/Vezzani) in the [Tagnone](/source/Tagnone) Valley 25 kilometres (16 mi) away. From the D343 the D443 branches north at the hamlet of Samuleto and continues to the village before continuing north by a tortuous mountain route to [Casevecchie](/source/Casevecchie).[3] The commune is watered by the Tagnone, a tributary of [Tavignano](/source/Tavignano) that separates an area of hills to the north from the plain, which is larger in area, to the south. There is a large dam with a large lake in the south of the commune.[3] ### Neighbouring communes and villages Places adjacent to Aghione Teppa Casevecchie Campo al-Quarcio Maison Pierragi Aghion Calviani Saint-Antoine Aristone Vadina [3] ## History During the [Second World War](/source/Second_World_War) Aghione aerodrome was used by the [306th Fighter Wing](/source/306th_Fighter_Wing) of the [15th US Air Force](/source/15th_Expeditionary_Mobility_Task_Force) from 10 to 21 August 1944 to support [Operation Dragoon](/source/Operation_Dragoon) (the Invasion of Southern France). ## Administration The Town Hall This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items.
