    Tips

    December 21, 2022

    The "Castle" was built on the highest of the three crests on which the town lies. On 23 July 1809, the Scozzettino band, with Taccone di Laurenzana and Scarola di Melfi, attacked the Castle killing all the family members of Baron Federici, feudal lord of Abriola, who had sided with the French and therefore against the reactionary Bourbon forces. The nobles were beheaded, their bodies burned and their heads displayed in the square. Only a child, Carlo, managed to save himself from the fury of the brigands, who also set fire to the parish archives.
