Once a flourishing city, the comune now has a population of less than 400. The date of his foundation is not known; the first historical paper citing it, is a document of Pope Giovanni XIII that, in 969 A.D., lists Volturara as a bishopric, depending from Benevento. Vulturaria, as it was previously called, was ruled in various times by its bishops, and by a number of noble families, including a branch of Caracciolos that built the so said 'Dukedom Palace'.
