Pietrastornina

Province of Avellino, Region Campania, Italy

Looming from the top of a rocky mountain is a Lombard castle where Renato D'Angiò found refuge. It was a fiefdom of many noble families like the Filangieri, the Stendardo, the De Balzo, the Leonessa and the Carafa of Maddaloni. Donato Massa, a famous pottery artist, was born here in the 17th century; an annual national contest of ceramists is held every August in his honor.
