Ariano Irpino has served as a market town in Irpinia, a district of the southern Apennines, since the Middle Ages. Built across high, rolling ground rather than a single compact ridge, the town stands on inland routes linking Campania with Puglia. The Norman Castle is a leading landmark in its historic centre, while the local tradition of maiolica ceramics gives Ariano a distinct place in Campanian craftsmanship; decorated wares from the town have long been known as maiolica arianese. Churches, narrow lanes and small squares retain the layered character of an old inland centre. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Ariano Irpino and Irpinia.
