Irpinia Express returns with excursions to discover the most beautiful places in Irpinia. We start on July 10th from the village of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, then follow Nusco, Castelvetere sul Calore and Montella
The historic trains of the Avellino-Rocchetta “Irpinia Express” route are back to give passengers a dive into Irpinia tradition between art, food and wine, and routes immersed in nature. A project born from the collaboration between the Campania Region and the FS Foundation, and with the constant work of the Inlocomotivi APS Association, which aims to enhance tourism in Irpinia through a form of soft mobility.
Discover the hidden beauties of the historical and cultural heritage that exists outside the large overcrowded historic centers, landscapes that can only be dreamed of living in the cities. It is a type of tourism for those who love to go beyond the simple guide, for those who are curious to know much more about the places they want to visit. The Irpinia Express routes resume, from July until late autumn, tickets are available from July 9: on the FS website (www.fondazionefs.it), in all train stations and at travel agencies.
The debut is on July 10th and we travel to Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, a village of great importance in which you can still see the medieval layout, passed through the centuries, deeply marked also by the earthquake in 1980 which undoubtedly characterizes its building stratigraphy.
