Few Italian cities can boast a historical and cultural heritage like that of Benevento: probably founded by the Oscans with the name of Maloenton, then passing under the domination of the Samnites, the Romans (who renamed it Maleventum and, later, Beneventum), the Lombards (who, in turn, founded there the duchy of the same name), and then becoming a papal enclave in medieval times. The Samnite capital is a city that can be called an “open-air museum,” enhanced by the many architectural beauties that great past civilizations have left in their wake.
