About Irpinia:

Irpinia is an area of the Apennine Mountains around Avellino, Campania, Southern Italy, and is located about 30 miles/50 kilometers east of Naples. It was the territory of the ancient Hirpini tribe, and its extent matches approximately today’s Province of Avellino.

The name “Irpinia” derives from the Oscan word “hirpus”, which means wolf, and the wolf remains Irpinia’s symbol to this day.

Every town in Irpinia has its own distinct story. Irpinia Stories seeks to tell these stories for English-speaking audiences in the hopes they might discover this hidden treasure for themselves!
