Avigliano, known as a city thanks to a 1991 decree, boasts a mountainous landscape with mountains such as Monte Caruso and Monte Carmine. The origin of the name could derive from "avis locum" or "locum avellani". The city is enriched by religious architecture such as the Basilica of Santa Maria del Carmine and the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli.

Characteristic for its Mother Church dedicated to San Nicola di Bari, Picerno sees its place of worship rising majestically on the hill, dominating the surrounding panorama. The church has undergone numerous transformations, including notable interventions after the earthquakes of the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Sanctuary was founded in 1130 as a refuge for the Romiti Basilian monks who hid a statue of the Madonna there fleeing the incursion of the Saracens. It is located at 960 m above sea level at the foot of the homonymous mountain.
