You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ravello''' ([[Neapolitan language|Campanian]]: ((lang|nap|Raviello, Reviello))) is a town and ''[[comune]]'' situated above the [[Amalfi Coast]] in the [[province of Salerno]], [[Campania]], [[Southern Italy]], with approximately 2,500 inhabitants. Its scenic location makes it a popular tourist destination, and earned it a listing as a [[UNESCO]] World Heritage Site in 1997.

==History==
((more citations needed|section|date=August 2020))
[[File:Center_of_Ravello_Italy.JPG|thumb|[[Piazza]] with Villa Ruffolo's entry tower]]
Ravello was founded in the 5th century as a shelter place against the [[barbarian invasions]] which marked the end of the [[Western Roman Empire]].

In the 9th century Ravello was an important town of the maritime [[Republic of Amalfi]].

It was a producer of wool from its surrounding country that was dyed in the town and an important trading power in the Mediterranean between 839 and around 1200.

In 1086, at the request of the [[Italo-Normans|Italo-Norman]] count [[Roger Borsa]], who wished to create a counterweight to the powerful [[Duchy of Amalfi]], [[Pope Victor III]] made Ravello the seat of a diocese immediately subject to the [[Holy See]], with territory split off from that of the archdiocese of Amalfi. Early on, the bishops of Ravello all came from patrician families of the city, showing the church's municipalized character.

In the 12th century, Ravello had some 25,000 inhabitants, and it retains a number of palazzi of the mercantile nobility, the Rufolo, d'Aflitto, Confalone, and Della Marra.

In 1137, after a first failed attack two years before, the Duchy was destroyed by the [[Republic of Pisa]]. After this, a demographic and economic decline set in, and much of its population moved to [[Naples]] and its surroundings in the [[Kingdom of Naples]].

In 1944 during [[WW2]], the king of Italy lived in Ravello -at the "Palazzo Priscopio"- while waiting to go back to Rome<ref>[https://www.ilvescovado.it/it/sezioni-25/storia-e-storie-12/11-febbraio-1944-salerno-capitale-il-re-dimora-a-21881/articleThe king of Italy at Ravello, www.ilvescovado.it ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125110823/https://www.ilvescovado.it/it/sezioni-25/storia-e-storie-12/11-febbraio-1944-salerno-capitale-il-re-dimora-a-21881/article |date=2020-11-25 ))</ref>
