ITINERARY
1
The
starting point of our route is the Square of the Republic,
whose urban order has been upset many times. Some changes
were the demolition of the old Church of St. Canio in 1883
and the consequent drop in quote in 1910, the demolition of
a side of the Benedictine monastery of Annunziata in the 30’s
(today seat of the town hall) and the building of a tunnel
that goes to P. Berrilli Street.
Since the earthquake of November the 23rd 1980 the square
hasn’t come yet to a definite disposition.
The Benedictine monastery was founded in 1557. The works to
reconstruct it should have been ended in 1586, as we can read
from a stone plaque put on .a

Street,
where is carved out the symbol of “Calitri’s Universitas”,
the three roses. The patronage on the monastery was held by
Calitri’s universitas.
Next to the monastery there’s the Church of the Annunziata
dated from the sixteenth century: it represents one of the
few churches that wasn’t destroyed by the earthquake
of 1694 and its main feature is the typical renaissance portal
with fanlight.
On a corner of Rinaldi’s Palace, on the left, we can
see its characteristic stone- mask.
Going ahead along Pasquale Berrilli Street there are the sumptuous
palaces where lived the noble families from Calitri. On the
left there’s the over mentioned Rinaldi’s Palace,
with its valuable stone portal, today home of the town-library.
