HISTORY
The name "Fisciano" comes from "Fitsanus", that is people who live in this area become healthy thanks to its salubrity. Marina d’Aragona often stayed in Fisciano, in Penta and Pope Gregory VII stayed in the caves of Saint Michele di Mezzo Sanctuary. Fisciano, in fact, was a noble village and it was chosen for long stays in villas.
Lancusi, a hamlet, has an interesting record: Giovanni Venditti, in the "Reale Manifatturiera dei Piastrinai dei Borboni" invented the first automated gun. Today it is kept in the Arms Museum in Milan. Fisciano became an independent town in 1806 after the dismantling of Principality of Sanseverino.
