Calitri, Historic hilltop commune in Province of Avellino, Italy
The town stretches across multiple levels at 530 meters elevation, featuring narrow stone streets connected by marble staircases beneath ancient arches.
The 1980 earthquake caused substantial destruction to Calitri's structures, leading to extensive reconstruction efforts that continue to shape the town's development.
Residents celebrate their patron saint, St. Canius, with traditional ceremonies and festivities every May 25th throughout the streets of Calitri.
The municipality maintains transportation connections to major centers in Campania, with regular services linking the town to regional destinations.
An ancient underground ice storage chamber, the Neviera, extends 15 meters deep into the Gagliano district, demonstrating historical preservation methods.
