Scomparse, persistenze e trasformazioni delle ecclesiae nel territorio della provincia di Avellino tra IV e XI secolo

The Research Unit of Università Suor Orsola Benincasa di Napoli had studied, during the CARE project, the places of worship situated or that could be localized in the area of the province of Avellino. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of the data obtained, in particular in the analysis of the buildings recorded in the documents as ecclesiae and of those that are still called churches. In total 57 ecclesiae have been recorded: 40 of them are missing and only in few cases we can suppose where they were built; the other 17 are still visibile, but preserved in different ways. A deep study on these evidences can surely help to better understand the development of the spaces of devotion in the medieval Avellino.
