Avellino Cathedral
The cathedral of Avellino was built between 1132 and 1166. However, thanks to the will of various bishops, and sometimes also because of various damages caused by earthquakes and wars, the structure has undergone numerous restorations and extensions. The Cathedral, which has a Romanesque appearance, kept its original appearance until the end of the 17th century when the first transformations and restorations began. In the second half of the 19th century, Bishop Francesco Gallo (1855-1896) had the cathedral completely rebuilt and enlarged, transforming it into a neoclassical building. The façade was rebuilt by the architect Pasquale Cardola between 1857 and 1868, while the interior was transformed by the architect Vincenzo Varriale, who worked intensively on it from 1880 to 1889.
