In 1496 the town was given to the Neapolitan noble Giovanni Carafa, Duke of Paliano.

Main sights
The main church in Alfano is the Church of Saint Nicholas. The Baronal Novelli Palace dates back to the 18th century. It has a grand entrance of stone, leading to a hall, and for some time served as the Town Hall of Alfano.
Palazzo dei Baroni Speranza, another palace, belonged to the Baron Speranza di Laurito. The palace, a large complex building complex elevated above the town, contains a central courtyard.
Alfanus of Camerota
Alfanus of Camerota (Italian: Alfano di Camerota) was the Archbishop of Capua from 1158 until his death around 1180. He was a very close friend to Pope Alexander III.
In 1163, the Pope wrote Alfanus to inform him of a plot against King William I of Sicily. Alfanus passed the information on to his nephew, Florius of Camerota, the justiciar of the principality of Salerno, who in turn warned the king.
On 1 March 1174, the pope confirmed the metropolitan status of the see of Capua and confirmed its suffragans as Aquino, Caiazzo, Calvi, Carinola, Caserta, Isernia, Sessa, Teano, and Venafro: all the churches of the Campania.
In the autumn of 1176, Alfanus accompanied Richard Palmer and Robert of Caserta with twenty-five galleys to Saint-Gilles to take custody of Joan, daughter of Henry II of England, who was betrothed to William II. He was present at the wedding in Palermo on 18 February 1177.
It is not known when Alfanus died, but his successor, Matthew, is attested on 13 March 1183.

by: ElviinIt dawned on me
That basically
They have put a price on everything.
In a world of greed
And exploiting needs
Some are cashing in, while others bleed.
If I sung out of tune would it sell now?
If I sung out of tune would it sell?
The relevance of the question's unclear now
The big picture's as scary as hell.
It's do or die to survive
In this day and age to stay alive.
When the top boys fight
One's left one's right
The streets become a stage
Actor am I?
If I sung out of tune would it sell now?
If I sung out of tune would it sell?
Focus on the small things and then you fail
To see that we're not doing so well.
Am I alone here
Or am I the only one who sees in different tones?
Somehow we've all adhered
To believe in everything that we are shown.
One mans views today makes
Front page news tomorrow
Injecting doubt to talk about.
It'd be no surprise
If this world was designed
