Casa indipendente in Contrada San Pietro Abbagnara 5

The area sits in the inland Campania hills between the Calore Irpino and Sabato river valleys, with mixed farmland, olive groves and low wooded ridges typical of central Irpinia. The nearest town of size is Benevento, which has a substantial historic centre and Roman remains including Trajan’s Arch and the theatre. To the east and southeast the wider province rises toward the Apennines and the Picentini mountains, but those higher ranges are outside the immediate landscape of Venticano. This part of Irpinia is known for wine and olive oil, with Taurasi and other inland Campania wine areas in the broader surroundings.
