SANT’ANGELO IN FORMIS – the Abbey of St. Michael archangel
Covered with dense woods, Mount Tifata was dedicated to Diana the huntress goddess, Artemis of the Greeks, who introduced its cult among the coastal cities first and then in the hinterlands as their influence among indigenous peoples increased. The Etruscans then extended their dominion in the area and erected the federal sanctuary of the Etruscan cities in Campania, dedicating it to Diana Tifatina.
