Fortino

Machine-translated from the Italian article

Fortino is a hamlet (frazione) of the Campanian municipality of Casaletto Spartano, in the province of Salerno. A smaller portion of the settlement falls within the Basilicata municipality of Lagonegro, in the province of Potenza, thus representing a very rare case of a hamlet divided between two regional administrations; similar to the cases of Giugnola and San Pellegrino in Alpe, both divided between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. The small village, traditionally rural, figures during the Risorgimento because Carlo Pisacane stopped here in 1857, during the Sapri Expedition, and later in 1860 Giuseppe Garibaldi, during the Expedition of the Thousand; as recalled by a plaque affixed in 1923.
