This article appears in Volume V26, Page 505 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEGGIANO (anc. Tegianum, formerly called Diana) , a town in Campania,
Italy
 , in the province of
Salerno
 , 45 M. S.E. of that town. Pop. (1901) 5095. It is situated 2090 ft. above sea-level on an isolated
eminence
  above the upper
part
  of the valley of the Negro (anc. Tanager), to which it gives the name of Val di Diano. It represents the ancient Tegianum a municipal town of Lucania, made into a colony by Nero, of which the ruins can be traced at the foot of the hill, with an ancient Roman
bridge
 . An Oscan sepulchral inscription in
Greek
  letters has been found here (cf. W.
Corssen
  in Ephemeris Epigrafica, ii. 153). It possesses a
castle
 , several churches of some
interest
 , and three conventual buildings. In 1497 it was strong enough to resist, under Antonio Sanseverino of
Salerno
 , the siege undertaken by Frederick of Aragon. (T. As.)
