Muro Lucano
Muro Lucano (formerly Muro, until 1863) is a city and comune in the province of Potenza, in the northern part of the region of Basilicata, southern Italy.
The city is situated on the site of the ancient Numistri, at the foot of the Apennines, the scene of a clash between Hannibal and Marcellus' forces in the Second Punic War in the year 210 BC.
After the Angevin period, Muro Lucano's castle saw long feuding by the Orsini family until the end of Italian feudalism in 1806. In the eighteenth century, after the earthquake of 1694, the Orsinis made profound changes to the manor by raising the ground floor, knocking down the drawbridge and building a new building leaning on the two towers. The 1980 earthquake necessitated an extensive consolidation process. The part called the prince's apartment had recently been restored.
On 23 November 1861, Carmine Crocco and José Borjes attacked Muro. In retaliation, national guards, soldiers and citizens, deployed in naturally strong positions, welcomed Crocco's men with shots, disrupting their formations that were forced to flee after suffering heavy losses.
Two years after King Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed King of Italy, the suffix Lucano was added in order to distinguish the city from Muro Leccese.
On 23 November 1980, Muro Lucano was strongly affected by the Irpinia earthquake. The city's infrastructure was severely damaged, the renovation of which, for over forty years, has been at the center of a strong controversy. There were multiple disputes over housing due to the new architectural plans of the administration, some houses were forced to be connected to one another. The administrations that have succeeded one another to date have admitted the delay in the restructuring works, represented in particular by the state of the elementary schools in the municipality.
On 23 November 1980, the date of the earthquake, Muro Lucano received the Gold Medal for Civil Merit.
On 4 October 2012, the President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano accepted the request of Interior Minister Anna Maria Cancellieri which gave Muro Lucano the honorary title of City.
