Mugnano del Cardinale

Birthplace of archaeologist and literary critic Pasquale Bianchi, this little center dates back to the late Middle Ages; in the 14th century it was under the Santa Casa dell'Annunziata of Naples, then thanks to Charles III Bourbon, who had the main road Via Regia delle Puglie restored, the whole territory enjoyed a new economy. Situated along the road to the sanctuary of Montevergine, a favorite destination of pilgrims, Mugnano is known for its production of excellent fruit, nuts, and pork products.
