Ariano Irpino, Municipality in Campania, Italy
The municipality of Ariano Irpino extends across three hills at an elevation of 788 meters between the Adriatic Sea and Tyrrhenian Sea.
In the year 800, the Castle of Ariano was built to defend the population against Byzantine attacks, with remains now visible in the urban park.
The town maintains a tradition of majolica production, a specific type of tin-glazed pottery that has developed since the 13th century in the region.
The railway station, positioned 6 kilometers from the town center, connects Ariano Irpino to major Italian cities including Rome and Bari.
The name Irpinia originates from the Oscan word for wolf, reflecting the ancient heritage of this administrative region in southern Italy.
