According to local tradition and thanks to the valuable information of the Cultural Circle Leonardo Di Capua as well as the “Pro Loco” of the village, it is possible to identify the house in which Leonardo Di Capua was born, the house is located in “Via Carpine” in Bagnoli irpino where is even possible to see some ruins of the original building. Many buildings were, in fact, lost in the disastrous earthquake in 1980 that hit the whole Irpinia.
