Ceramics have defined Cerreto Sannita for centuries, and the village's planned grid of streets — rebuilt from scratch after a devastating earthquake on 5 June 1688 to designs by Giovanni Battista Manni — gives it an unusual architectural coherence for a modest Campanian settlement. It served as the seat of a bishop's diocese from the 17th century onward, which accounts for a striking number of churches relative to its size. The surrounding Benevento province sits in deep wine country, with UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
