Paternopoli grew up around a fortress in the first half of the 9th century.
The first historical document dates back to 817.
In 1142 the fief fell under the dominion of Guglielmo Gesualdo, count of Gesualdo, whose descendants retained it unto the latter half of the 13th century.
The fief passed through many hands among them those of Sergianni Caracciolo in 1420, Nicola Gesualdo in 1478 and finally, in 1676 it passed to Cesare Carafa, prince of Chiusano.
Today nothing remains of the fortress englobed (according to some local historians) in the Town Hall of Paternopoli.
