Palazzo Capone in Montella

A noble palace in Montella's Garzano district, rebuilt after the 1980 earthquake and now home to a theatre.

In the Garzano district, along the main street and opposite Palazzo Bruni Roccia, stands the palace of the Capone family, a noble house recorded from the 12th century that produced many jurists and the senator Filippo Capone, a figure of the Risorgimento. The 1980 earthquake badly damaged it, and it was almost entirely rebuilt.Today the palace enjoys a new season as home to the theatre named after Adele Solimene. We like knowing that many Roman finds from the Montella area were gathered in its garden and later moved to the archaeological section of the Irpinian Museum in Avellino. We suggest including it in a walk through the town's historic districts.
