Calitri

Around Calitri, the terrain is a succession of cultivated hills in the southern Apennines, which has shaped both its compact hilltop layout and agricultural economy. The town overlooks the valley of the Ofanto River in eastern Campania, close to the regional borders with Basilicata and Puglia. In the older Borgo Castello quarter, narrow lanes and tightly grouped homes follow the steep contours of the site. Calitri was heavily affected by the 1980 Irpinia earthquake, and reconstruction remains part of its modern identity. It is also associated with a longstanding local tradition of ceramics.
