Cannalonga is a town and comune in the Region of Campania, Province of Salerno.
The town was founded between the 9th and 10th century A.D.
It became well known in the region around 1450, when the tradition of the festival called Fiera di Santa Lucia started. Today this festival is better known as Fiera della Frecagnola.
The most popular historical monument there is the "Palazzo Ducale" (the duke's palace), which is located in the heart of the town, facing Piazza del Popolo. The palace belongs to the Dukes of Cannalonga, the Mogrovejo-Romano family.
According to some people, this name is due to the large number of bamboo-stems (it:canne di bambù) present in the area. According to others the name is referred to an old measure unit called "canna".
Traditional meals include:
You can take your picture off your shelf
You can go around all by yourself
You can tell the others that we're through
But darling, I know one thing you can't do
You can never stop me loving you
You can never stop the way that my heart's beating too
You can never stop me loving you
That's one thing you'll never do
You can look away when I pass by
You can break my heart and leave me blue
But darling I know one thing you can't do
(Repeat verse 2)
You can hang the phone up when I call
You can say you don't love me at all
You can say it's over and we're through
But darling I know one thing you can't do
(Repeat verse 2)
You'll never stop me loving you
