Controne is located at the foot of the Alburni Mountains and immediately above the Calore river. It falls within the territory of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. Its name derives from its position and exposure to the sun: CONTRA - ELJONE (from the Greek helios which means sun), or "Facing the sun". The Controne Bean Festival is, in fact, a historical re-enactment of the Controne dishes and traditions and you can taste the protagonist of the event, the Controne Bean, in all its best expressions.
