Terrific Terranova di Pollino - 3

The origins of Terranova di Pollino date back to the 16th century , when it was founded as a fiefdom of the State of Noia (the current Noepoli ), of which it belonged until the subversion of feudalism, and from which it took the name of Terranovella di Noia until the nineteenth century , when it was changed to its current name. The Pignatelli , princes of Noia, decided to favor the settlement of settlers in their vast estates, to increase the economy of the fief, and so Terranovella, that is a newly settled land , was the advanced point of their agricultural colonization. After the unification of Italy, Terranova was part of the district of Lagonegro and of the Mandamento di Noepoli
