Casa indipendente in Piazza Santa Sofia

The cluster is in the built-up area of Benevento, so the immediate setting is an inland city in the Calore Irpino and Sabato river valley rather than open countryside. The Apennine hills close the horizons around the city, with the Taburno-Camposauro massif to the west and the higher Sannio and Irpinian uplands within the wider surrounding area. The nearest substantial town is Benevento itself, which has the normal services of a provincial capital and a notable Roman and medieval core including the Arch of Trajan and the church of Santa Sofia, a UNESCO-listed Lombard site. The area is known for Sannio vineyards and hill agriculture.
