This territory was first inhabited during Norman period. On a hill near Capitello hamlet, today called “Castellaro”, Ruggiero I built a castle. During the second half of XVI century Aragons arrived in this area, or at least their soldiers. On a hill there is still a sighting tower built to defend the territory from Saracen pirates. People escaped on the hills where today Ispani and San Cristofaro are. At the end of XVI century Counts Carafa della Spina, escaping from the near Policastro, infested by the malarial fever, moved to Capitello hamlet.
According to a document kept in the State Archive of Naples, of 1746, Ispani and San Cristofaro were not considered a town and so they couldn’t have fortresses against pirates. This is why the inhabitants built very small houses, leaning against each other, in this way the carts couldn't cross the territory.
Then, in 1780 Ispani was transformed into a “University”, that is a municipality.
Ispani, Capitello and San Cristoforo have represented a single municipality since the institution of the Republic.
