Why it belongs here
Ariano Irpino (Italian pronunciation: [aˈrjaːno irˈpiːno]), known until 1930 as Ariano di Puglia, and historically and in the local dialect simply as Ariano, is an Italian commune with a population of 20,706 inhabitants located in the Province of Avellino within the Campania region. Perched atop a highland straddling the Apennines and endowed with an expansive territory at the crossroads of ancient routes, this small town swiftly gained strategic prominence, rising from the Early Middle Ages to become the seat of both the Diocese of Ariano and the County of Ariano.
