Fragneto L’Abate originated in the early Middle Ages, although some archaeological findings indicate that settlements existed in Roman times.
In Lombard times, the territory was donated by the princes of Benevento to their treasurer Photon. Later, in Norman times, in 1099, the territory was bought by the Count of Ariano (Eribertus) and then donated to the Monastery of Santa Sofia in Benevento. From then on, the village was called ‘Fragneti Abbatis’.
In 1763, Ferdinand IV of Bourbon removed the territory from the power of the Church, first aggregating it to the Royal Court, and then donating it to Cardinal Fabrizio Ruffo.
The Ruffo family remained in possession of the territory until the feudal system was abandoned. After the Unification of Italy, Fragneto L’Abate was incorporated into the province of Benevento.
