Sperone: A Small Campanian Municipality That Tells a Story
Sperone is a small municipality in Campania, located in the province of Avellino. With its 4000 inhabitants, Sperone is a town where history and traditions harmoniously merge with everyday life.
Geography and History
The territory of Sperone has a very ancient history. In the past, the town was part of the walls of Avella, a Roman city destroyed during the barbarian invasions. The inhabitants of Avella took refuge on the surrounding mountains, where they formed new settlements that were long united with Avella. Later, as the number of inhabitants in Avella grew, a part of them settled at midday towards Sperone, near the ancient church of Sant'Elia.
Among the six gates of ancient Avella, the Porta di Corte stood in the district of Sperone, as can be learned from the archaeological repertoire in Oscan language ''Cippus Abellanus'', kept at the Episcopal Seminary of Nola. Later on, this gate was also called the Porta di S. Elia.
