01 · Overview
About Avellino
Irpinia's mountain capital — bold DOCG wines, medieval hilltowns, and authentic southern Italian soul.
Avellino is the capital of the Irpinia region, nestled in a mountain basin 47 km east of Naples amid the Partenio and Picentini ranges. Rebuilt after WWII bombing and a devastating 1980 earthquake, the city retains a baroque clock tower, a 12th-century cathedral, and a lively pedestrian corso, all set against a backdrop of DOCG vineyards producing Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, and Taurasi. It serves as an off-the-beaten-path base for wine tourism, hiking in the Monti Picentini Regional Park, and pilgrimage to the mountaintop Sanctuary of Montevergine. Travelers seeking genuine Campanian culture far from the Amalfi crowds will find Avellino quietly rewarding.
