Calvi (
Campanian: Coppacorte) is a
comune (municipality) in the
Province of Benevento in the southern
Italian region
Campania, located about 60 km northeast of
Naples and about 10 km southeast of
Benevento. It also belongs to the
Samnium historical region. Its territory has an altitude of between 169m and 388m above sea level.
The name Calvi is derived either from the Latin adjective 'Calvus', meaning a barren or treeless place, or it could possibly come from the Latin name 'Calvus,' indicating ownership or property.
In the region of Calvi is an area known as Cubante or Covante. This area was a strategic pass for the ancient Appian Way and has historically been a site for encampments, including those from various historical battles involving figures like Tiberio Sempronio Gracco and general Annone
Up until 1958, San Nazzaro formed a single commune with present-day Calvi, named San Nazzaro Calvi.
Calvi borders the following municipalities: Apice, Mirabella Eclano, Pietradefusi, San Giorgio del Sannio, San Nazzaro, Venticano.
