Irpinia to discover

The province of Avellino, known as “Green Irpinia,” is a proud land with millennial roots that feed on history to look to the future. Here, time seems to stand still, offering visitors an enchanting Campanian landscape enriched by a remarkable cultural heritage and lush nature.

This region is ideal for those who love the outdoors and seek a relaxing vacation among mountains, springs, healthy air and good food. Mountains, plains, nature reserves, lakes and rivers create one of the most striking natural environments in southern Italy, perfect for every season. Irpinia reveals itself slowly, amid unspoiled nature and historic places inhabited by the Samnites, Romans and Lombards. Ancient villages can be found in the valleys at the foot of the Partenio and Terminio mountain ranges, covered with beech, fir, oak and chestnut forests.

Among the region's treasures are archaeological sites and imposing castles that evoke a past of wars, pillaging, worldly feasts and elegant courts. Avellino is also home to great wine productions, such as Fiano di Avellino DOCG, Taurasi DOCG and Greco di Tufo DOCG, witnessed by the valleys planted with vineyards and olive groves, a symbol of the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
