History and description
Savignano Irpino is a village and comune in the province of Avellino, in the Campania region of southern Italy.
Located in Irpinia historical district, the town is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ariano Irpino-Lacedonia, and it is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").
History
Savignano has historical archaeological remains from the pre-Roman and Roman era.
In the Ferrara district the ruins of a Norman fort can be seen. In 1416 it was a fiefdom of Francesco Sforza and, from the 17th century, it belonged to the Guevara family.
The name Savignano derives from the Latin word 'Sabinianum, Sabinus'. Savignano Irpino was previously known as Savignano Di Puglia; this was updated in the mid-20th century as part of boundary changes. In June 2006, Savignano Irpino held a referendum to leave Campania and become part of Apulia again, but failed to achieve a quorum.
