Forino is a town (commune) in the province of Avellino, Campania, Italy. on 8 may of 663 AD this town was the set of a battle between the imperial army of Constans II and the Lombard army of Romuald, son of Grimoald and duke of Benevento. The Legend tells St.Michael himself made an apparition in this battle on the side of the Lombards. After this crushing defeat Constans retired in Naples and gave up his projects for expelling the Lombards from south Italy.

Other sources tells us the battle took place at Calore River, where it joins with the river Volturno .
