==History== Archaeological finds show the presence of an early settlement in the area dating back to pre-Roman times. Early documents mentioning Bucianus date back to 1326. Bucciano was part of the nearby town of Airola until the end of feudalism in the late 19th century. Afterwards, Bucciano became an independent town and part of the province of Benevento after the unification of Italy.
