Avellino, Provincial capital in Campania, Italy.
The city stands at 348 meters elevation in a plain encircled by mountains, 47 kilometers east of Naples along the road to Benevento.
Originally named Abellinum, the Roman settlement was established in 293 BC and later rebuilt under Lucius Cornelius Sulla following the civil wars in 89 BC.
The Cathedral of Avellino contains a 16th-century wooden choir and displays architectural elements from multiple periods, including a neoclassical facade from 1891.
The A16 highway connects Avellino to Naples and Bari, while AIR Campania operates regional bus services, including trolleybus lines introduced in 2023.
The Provincial Library houses over 150,000 volumes, while the former Bourbon Prison now functions as the Pinacoteca Provinciale art museum.
