Situated in the southern part of Italy, Avellino is not far from Naples and has enjoyed an international reputation as a tourist destination for decades. Indeed, Avellino was brought more to the forefront of popular interest thanks to the acclaimed TV drama, ‘The Sopranos’, as the fictional Soprano family have their roots here.

Recommended landmarks for visitors include the The Prince’s Casino which is a stunning example of local architecture, the Government House which was built in the sixteenth century and the many Palaces. The Avellino Theatre shows an impressive range of performances throughout the year, in particular Opera and Choral concerts. Gourmet food and wine are other reasons that Avellino is such a popular retreat; from soups to homemade pastas, to truffles and locally sourced wine, foodies will be spoilt for choice and meals can be enjoyed in some terrific cafes with views of the surrounding scenery. Avellino is within easy driving distance of Rome’s Leonardo Da Vinci and Ciampino Airports, as well as Naples and Bari di Palese Airports.
