Contrada Camporeale, Ariano Irpino

The cluster sits on a hill at the western fringe of the Daunian Pre‑Apennines (part of the southern Apennines). The Ufita river valley and its small tributaries shape the local agricultural landscape. Within about 15 km are small towns and villages such as Flumeri, Melito Irpino and Villanova del Battista; the Arbëreshë (Italo‑Albanian) village of Greci is nearby. Land use in the area is mixed agriculture: olive groves, vineyards, arable fields, pastures and patches of deciduous woodland typical of inland Irpinia. There are no national parks or protected coastlines within 15 km. The nearest alpine ski area (Laceno, Bagnoli Irpino) is roughly 40–50 km away by road. The nearest larger provincial cities are Benevento and Avellino at several tens of kilometres; the Apulian plain and the city of Foggia lie to the east. The wider Irpinia area is known for Aglianico wine, chestnuts, olive oil and truffles, and these agricultural products figure in the local economy.
