The first records of the area date back to the ninth century in theLombard period. The position of the town was strategic for enemies attacks during theMiddle Ages. Lately, the town became an important cultural and religious center. It was the seat of bishops until 1973, when theDiocese of Campagna merged with theArchdiocese of Salerno.
Campagna is famous for its traditional summer event ‘A Chiena’ (Italian:La Piena), which takes place annually every weekend between July and August. During the event, the city riverTenza is deflected from its natural course through the city main street where people wait for the water to come.[4] This tradition comes from the ancient practice of cleaning the streets by using the river water. Later, it was converted into a delightful moment for locals and tourists.[5]
I Fucanoli is festival in honour of Sant'Antonio, taking place on 17 January. The celebrations begin in the late afternoon with a service followed by a procession whereby the Sant'Antonio statue is carried in the streets of the city centre. While the statue is carried through the streets, huge fires are ignited.
From 1532 to 1641,Campagna was ruled by theGrimaldi family, princes of Monaco, after EmperorCharles V granted them theMarquisate of Campagna as their Italian capital; during this “Golden Century,” the city flourished with noble palaces, monasteries, fountains, bridges, an active diocese, a humanistic and scientific university, one of Italy’s earliest printing presses, and hydromechanical industries, while the dominion also included Canosa di Puglia, Terlizzi, Monteverde, Ripacandida, Ginestra, and Garagnone.[6][7] Although Grimaldi rule ended in 1641, its legacy remains visible in Campagna’s architecture and urban fabric; ties with Monaco were renewed in 1991 by Prince Rainier III and later strengthened by visits of Prince Albert II in 1997 and 2018 within theHistoric Sites of the Grimaldis of Monaco program.[8][9][10]
