'''Lacedonia''' is a commune of 3,010 people in the province of Avellino, Italy  overlooking the Osento torrent, which forms here the Lake of Saint Peter, an artificial lake that has increased the value of the whole area. 

==History==
Lacedonia was first called '''Akudunniad''' by the Romans, with the name of '''Aquilonia''', and was part of the Tribe of Galeria. It was later called '''Al Cidonia''' and then '''Cedogna''' until 1800. Finally it became Lacedonia. 

In 517 AD it was given to the Benedictine monks by the Emperor Justinian.
 
It was under the Counts of Conza and the Normans, then became a fiefdom of the Balvano, Orsini, Pappacoda and Doria families. 

Lacedonia is famous for the "conspiracy of the barons" of the Kingdom of Naples against King Ferdinand I of Naples, which took shape in the cathedral of Lacedonia in 1484. 

Lacedonia has suffered much from earthquakes, especially in 1694 and 1702. In 1930 another violent earthquake destroyed the whole town; the population lived, temporarily, in earthquake-proof houses and only in the year 2001 were they able to move to more modern houses built after the earthquake of 23 November, 1980, which made thousands of victims in Savignano Irpino.
