History
The communal seat, Capitignano, appeared when the Romans destroyed Picentia, whose inhabitants took refuge on the mountains nearby. The modern name, according to tradition, would derive from Caput Jani ("Janus' head"), referring to the head of statue of the god which they brought to the new site.
Capitignano was part of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies until 1860, as part of the district of Salerno.
Geography
