Revolt of Montefalcione
The revolt of Montefalcione was a popular pro-Bourbon insurrection that occurred between July 6 and 10, 1861, which had Montefalcione as its epicenter, as well as spreading to several neighboring towns and villages. The anti-unification unrest that shook the territory of Irpinia in those days was characterized by bloody fighting and acts of hostility, perpetrated by both factions involved.
