The act of foundation was stipulated during the reign of Roberto d'Angiò, in the San Giacomo Palace in Padula, in the presence of some important people of the time.
Guglielmo chose the name Buonabitacolo for the new settlement due to the healthy air and its distance from the infected swamps that spread through Vallo di Diano. In the latter part of the century, Buonabitacolo remained under the dominion of the Sanseverino family.
