The municipality of Faicchio has a population of 3775 inhabitants and is located in the province of Benevento. As in all of Italy, viticulture also occupies a prestigious position among the agricultural activities of the region and the wines produced in the province are known for their originality and quality. The municipality of Faicchio is located at an altitude of 175 m a.s.l. .

The municipal area of Faicchio has been inhabited since prehistoric times as evidenced by some finds found in the area, currently preserved in the Sannio museum in Benevento. [5]

In the 6th century BC the Osco-Samnite megalithic walls that still surround the peak of Mount Acero date back to this day. They protected the so-called "Arce di monte Acero", a Samnite fortress to spot enemies. Most likely Mount Acero was the last outpost south of the Pentri and these were used to defend themselves from possible attacks by peoples further south.

It was probably the site of a Roman settlement as evidenced by the remains of an aqueduct, a cryptoporticus and a bridge from that era.

The Lombards founded a church dedicated to San Michele in a cave on Mount Monaco di Gioia.
The first written record dates back to 1151 when Faicchio was counted among the possessions of the Sanframondo family, an important family of Norman origin that had all the municipalities of the Titernina valley as a fief.
