Pietradefusi (Italian:[ˌpjɛ.tra.deˈfu.zi];Irpino:'A Preta) is a comune in theprovince of Avellino,Campania,Italy.
According to some scholars, Pietradefusi lies on the site of the ancientFusolae, a town cited byLivy as an ally ofHannibal during thePunic Wars, and which was later destroyed by the Romans.
The origins of the town are medieval (cited first from 1298) and it was fiefdom of many noble families such as the De Souzi, the De Tocco and theAcquaviva, but was also governed a long time by the Santa Casa dell'Annunziata of Naples. TheJesuits remember the town because one of their generals, Claudio of Aragona, was born here in the times ofFrancesco Borgia.
CardinalNiccolò Coscia was born here, as was the father ofMario Puzo.
