In the territory of Auletta six Latin epigraphs are been recovered till now. The most ancient parchment reached, says us that Auletta is of the 1095. It is the unpublished work diploma of Raynaldo or Raynolfo, gentleman of S. Agatha, that with his child Gioele gives to the churches of the SS. Trinity and of the blessed apostle Pietro of Olivola two lands, of which we have the confinements.

In 1097, Gioele, «filio raynoni brittonis », gave for soul to the aforesaid churches 43 lands near Auletta, Castelluccio etc. In 1121, Gioele that « felt » (sentior) to be next to die, gave, together to his child Riccardo, gentleman of S.

Different are also the news that is learned by the angevin Registers.

Galvano Lancia, uncle of king Manfredi and partisan of Corradino, had appropriated of Auletta.The local baiulis, with the pretext that the officers of Galvano Lancia had demanded the right of faithful from the families of S. Maria of Pertosa, pressed on that vassals, which had the right of pasture on lands and mountains of Auletta. The abbot Amico turned him to the king, then in the castle of Nocera, what (12 September 1267) wrote to the executioner to prevent that the inhabitants of S. M. of Pertosa ulterior came increased. King Charles I (Lucera, May 3 rd 1259, XII) had also granted Auletta to the first-born of the count of Fiandra, for which the order to executioner to make to swear fidelity to Roberto or to his attorney from the vassals of Eboli with his hamlets, of Caillette, Auletta, Giffoni, Campagna and Buccino.

Similar orders were put again to the castellanis of Campagna, Eboli and Auletta, castles all given with the dependent lands. Over these the king gave to Roberto of Fiandra also Caillette (Quaglietta) and Buccino, until the <> was held back in the Kingdom. Since Roberto returned in Fiandra, the king ordered that all the given goods were summoned to the regal Curia, inclusive Auletta that was then granted to Guglielmo of Saccanvilla, real adviser, of which different news is reached there, among those that refer to the transfer of the hamlet of Galli and the feud of Magnabove.

The castle of Auletta, then returned by Guglielmo of Saccanvilla, was granted by the king to Guglielmo of Ernardi of Birano, gentleman of Campana.

It seems that Giovannella, wife of Mattia of Gesualdo had purchased the feud from Giovanna, first-born and heir of the militiaman Giovanni Piletto, with the consent of Margherita, Giovanni's wife from Procida and stepmother of Giovanna. To Roberto, child of Mattia, the assent was given the possibility to happen to the barony of his father, that possessed Caggiano, Auletta and Calitri in 1339, and to Giovannella in the case that his was dead before her.In the 1445 king Alfonso ordered to regularize an uncertain fiscal matter of the place. Auletta was well strengthened.Giustiniani, misunderstanding, affirms that it was besieged by Charles V (4 July 1533) and conquered after twenty days.

Not having had descendants, the title passed to the second brother Raymond that married the noble Rosa Revertera of the dukes of Salandra. The only heir, Emanuela Beatrice, married the noble Anthony Castriota Scandeberg (17 August 1810 - 2 December 1899), from which the only male Giovanni (birth on 11 February 1847), which with regal Letters Patent 4 of April 1897 got the recognition of the title of marquis of Auletta, that of the predicate of S.
