The village, confused often with Ancilla of the documents from Cava, followedthe fate of the barony until the first third of ' 500. Shortly before of1538, Ettore Pignatelli was apparently sold to Marcantonio Vallettafrom Novi the jurisdiction of the first, second and mixed causes of Angellara.This is from a news story contained in the book of memories ofMongroveio family: in 1538, Valletta, shoppingCannalonga by Duke changed for 500 ducats the rightsclaimed on Angellara, then in 1572 transferred by Valleta to G. Batttista Farao, who, in turn, gave them in 1602 to the Dukes of Monteleone, as a result of a will drafted by the notary Pietro Oreglia di Naples.

The news is confirmed in an act of May 24, 1582 from the notaryCosimo Cortellissi of Novi, which shows that in that year Cesare de Hippolitiswas captain of the baronial Court of Angellara and Cannalonga.
