Teggiano (Teggianese: Rianu), formerly Diano, is a town and comune (municipality) in the province of Salerno, Campania, Italy. It is situated on an isolated eminence above the upper part of the valley to which it gives the name of Vallo di Diano.^[3]

Among the historic centers of the province, Teggiano is certainly one that has best preserved its ancient appearance of the fortress and it is this aspect which is shown to those who reach the old town. The appearance of a Roman

Main sights

Ruins of the ancient city can be traced at the foot of the hill; a Roman bridge is also present. Other landmarks are:

• The Sanseverino Castle, built in Norman times. In the early years of the 15th century the country of Diano was forfeited by the Neapolitan Crown due to the expulsion of its feudal lords, the Sanseverino; then the King
  Ladislaus of Durazzo had the castle restored, ordering that every village in the Vallo di Diano
  contributed to the expenses. Another restoration was performed in 1417, commissioned this time by the Sanseverino family.
• Church and Convent of
  St. Michael Archangel
  from the second half of the 15th century. Other features include the 16th century's choir, as well as the cloister with a central well.
• St. Antuono church, probably built before the 11th century, and located on the north side of the old town not far from the walls of the Castle. The exterior, with modest structural lines, shows the steeple built in the thick of the facade: on the right side is placed on the portal the architrave decorated with a delicate interweaving arboreal. The interior has a basilica layout: a small main aisle once flanked by two aisles divided by a shrunk colonnade. Part of the right nave was demolished in 1958 to make room for the road. In recent restoration works have emerged on the walls inside an important cycle of medieval frescoes.
