In the far eastern corner of Campania, where the region runs up against Puglia and the hills of Irpinia begin to feel like the edge of the map, on the old border between the Irpinia and Daunia, we find Zungoli, a small stone village in the province of Avellino, about a two-hour drive inland from Naples.
It is the kind of place most travelers never reach, perched on a hill of soft tufa above the Ufita valley, a tangle of cobbled lanes, stairways, and honey-colored houses, but it’s this very remoteness that kept it so wonderfully whole.
