Majestic Montescaglioso -4

Various interpretations revolve around the denomination of Montescaglioso from "Civitas Severiana", for Alessandro Severo who dominated the center, to "Mons Cabeosus", for the wealth of caverns.

 

In the beginning a Byzantine stronghold, then dominated by various feudal families, the development of Montescaglioso flourished around the Benedictine Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo (1079), rich in beautiful frescoes.
