Gesualdo is an Italian town in the province of Avellino, itself in the region of Campania.

It is called "The city of the Prince of Musicians"[citation needed] in honour of Carlo Gesualdo.

It has many palaces, fountains, belvederes, and a historical center, which was partially restored after the Irpinia earthquake in 1980.

The town is located in the center of Irpinia, between the valleys of the rivers Fredane and Ufita.

[3] The first records of the Castle of Gesualdo date to Norman rule in the 12th century.
