	The name "Sant'Angelo" comes from the town's patron Saint [[Michael the Archangel]]. Lombardi comes from migrant workers of [[Lombardy]] settling there around 1000 AD. Most modern "Santangiolesi" have features and [[genes]] similar to the [[lombards]] as most of the town has been inhabited with the [[Lineal descendant\|descendant]]s of these [[migrant workers]] to this day.<ref>''Ricerche di storia dell'arte'', issues 34–36, 1988, p. 39</ref> The cathedral was originally built in the 11th century and was rebuilt in the 16th century. Also near Piazza d'Andrea is the castle of the Lombards, built around the first half of the 10th century. Initially, it was a jail/prison/fort and was later modified to serve as a [[castle]]. There is a small pathway that was constructed under the castle and from there it leads to the main town square where there was an underground prison. In the late 1800s many people from the town immigrated to [[Brazil]] and [[The United States of America]]. It is known that the area was already inhabited by the [[Samnites]] and then for a long time by the [[Roman people\|Romans]] who had settled in nearby [[Aeclanum]] along the [[Via Appia]] that connected [[Rome]] with the port of [[Brindisi]]. With the fall of the [[Roman Empire]], [[central Italy]] was conquered by the [[Lombards]] and the Fredane river was the border between the [[Duchy of Benevento]] and the Lombards of [[Salerno]] who began the construction of the [[castle]] of Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi at the highest point guarding the border. At the beginning of the [[10th century]], Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi was besieged by the [[Saracens]] and then conquered by the [[Normans]] who fortified the castle in [[1076]]. The [[Normans]] had come from [[Northern Europe]] to [[Southern Italy]] when called by the church that wanted to impose the [[Latin rite]] to replace the [[Eastern Orthodox Church\|Orthodox]] rites and during their reign they favoured the construction of churches, such as the cathedral of Sant'Antonino Martyr, and of [[monasteries]]. In 1133, thanks to the Abbot San Guglielmo da Vercelli, the construction of the great [[Abbey of San Guglielmo al Goleto]] began, which included a section for men and one for women. It is said that the [[saint]] had lived for years in a tree trunk and that he decided to start the convent of a female cloister. Then he realized he had to provide for the nuns' sustenance with a male monastery. True [[feudalism]] began with the [[Normans]] and Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi was given as a fief to the Balvano, who descended from the [[Franks]], while the church organized its own administrative structure by creating a bishop's seat. During the [[History of Swabian Sicily\|Swabian]] and [[Angevin Empire\|Angevin]] period other families alternated with the fief of Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi such as the Ianvilla, also of French origin, and the Di Sangro. [[Black death]] brought misery and a decline of the monastery so much so that [[Pope Julius II]] in 1506 suppressed the female section while he allowed the male section to continue. [[Joan II of Naples\|Joanna II]], queen of Naples, assigned the fief to the Caracciolos and a period of splendour arrived with this family around the 1500s. In 1664, a disastrous earthquake razed the village and the cathedral to the ground and in the reconstruction the castle was transformed into a residence by the Caracciolo family. The monastery was then completely renovated with the construction of a new church designed by the great Neapolitan [[Baroque]] artist and architect [[Domenico Antonio Vaccaro]]. The cathedral was also rebuilt in the [[Baroque style]]. In 1768 the imperial family arrived and then the Carafa family. During the [[Napoleonic period]], Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi became an important administrative centre with the creation of a court and prisons in the castle. [[Feudalism]] was abolished, the monastery was closed which fell into ruin and many of its assets were plundered. Fortunately, the remains of the founder San Guglielmo were moved to [[Montevergine]]. The village actively participated in the [[Carbonari]] uprisings that led to the [[unity of Italy]], which however shattered the dreams of the citizens. In fact, after the [[unification of Italy]], disappointment and misery led to a strong wave of migration to the United States of people who went in search of fortune. Emigration continued after the first and after the second world war. Fate was not merciful and Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi was one of the centres most affected by the disastrous earthquake of November 23, 1980 which practically razed it to the ground. With the reconstruction, the castle has once again taken on its medieval form and today it is home to the archive and museum.

The [[Normans]] had come from [[Northern Europe]] to [[Southern Italy]] when called by the church that wanted to impose the [[Latin rite]] to replace the [[Eastern Orthodox Church\|Orthodox]] rites and during their reign they favoured the construction of churches, such as the cathedral of Sant'Antonino Martyr, and of [[monasteries]]. In 1133, thanks to the Abbot San Guglielmo da Vercelli, the construction of the great [[Abbey of San Guglielmo al Goleto]] began, which included a section for men and one for women. It is said that the [[saint]] had lived for years in a tree trunk and that he decided to start the convent of a female cloister. Then he realized he had to provide for the nuns' sustenance with a male monastery. True [[feudalism]] began with the [[Normans]] and Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi was given as a fief to the Balvano, who descended from the [[Franks]], while the church organized its own administrative structure by creating a bishop's seat. During the [[History of Swabian Sicily\|Swabian]] and [[Angevin Empire\|Angevin]] period other families alternated with the fief of Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi such as the Ianvilla, also of French origin, and the Di Sangro. [[Black death]] brought misery and a decline of the monastery so much so that [[Pope Julius II]] in 1506 suppressed the female section while he allowed the male section to continue. [[Joan II of Naples\|Joanna II]], queen of Naples, assigned the fief to the Caracciolos and a period of splendour arrived with this family around the 1500s. In 1664, a disastrous earthquake razed the village and the cathedral to the ground and in the reconstruction the castle was transformed into a residence by the Caracciolo family. The monastery was then completely renovated with the construction of a new church designed by the great Neapolitan [[Baroque]] artist and architect [[Domenico Antonio Vaccaro]]. The cathedral was also rebuilt in the [[Baroque style]]. In 1768 the imperial family arrived and then the Carafa family. During the [[Napoleonic period]], Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi became an important administrative centre with the creation of a court and prisons in the castle. [[Feudalism]] was abolished, the monastery was closed which fell into ruin and many of its assets were plundered. Fortunately, the remains of the founder San Guglielmo were moved to [[Montevergine]]. The village actively participated in the [[Carbonari]] uprisings that led to the [[unity of Italy]], which however shattered the dreams of the citizens. In fact, after the [[unification of Italy]], disappointment and misery led to a strong wave of migration to the United States of people who went in search of fortune. Emigration continued after the first and after the second world war. Fate was not merciful and Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi was one of the centres most affected by the disastrous earthquake of November 23, 1980 which practically razed it to the ground. With the reconstruction, the castle has once again taken on its medieval form and today it is home to the archive and museum.
