Nocera Superiore ( better known as Nuceria Alfaterno) dates back to about 1000 B.C. and was founded by an Asian population, the Opici or Oschi who settled in this valley because of its congenial position and the fertility of the land.

Its name derives from a fusion of the word “nu” meaning new and “cria crium which are areas of ancient Macedonia, Crete. From this we get Nukria, Nucrium and hence Nuceria. In the Vth century B.C. it became an important area for the Sannites and took on the name of Alfaterna, from the name of the tribe this population belonged to.
