Picinisco is one of many hilltop villages located in the Val Comino of the Lazio region. It is south east of Rome, in the Abruzzi mountains of the Apennines and the nearest town of any note is Cassino. Located on the very border of the National Park of the Abruzzi, its population is about 1200 (including its neighbouring hamlets of San Gennaro, San Giuseppe), but in the summer months it is much larger as emigrants and their families return. At 720 metres above sea level, Picinisco affords some protection from the stifling heat in the valley, especially at night.
Mindre enn ti minutter med bil ligger museet dedikert til D. H. Lawrence. Dette var hjemmet til Orazio Cervi som inviterte forfatteren til sitt hus. Man finner mange referanser til stedet i boken The Lost Girl som kom ut i 1920.
