Can any Italian users tell me if there were post-Roman Germanic or Slavic settlers near Benevento?

i'm partly italian since my paternal grandmother was from southern italy. once she gave me a book explaining the slavic immigration in southern italy during the middle ages. the book reported that a number of slavic people from the coastal areas of croatia and montenegro settled in southern italy after having been invited by king ferdinand II of aragon (after the turkish conquest of the kingdoms of serbia and croatia).

the book, written in german, is entitled "SERBOKROATISCHEN KOLONIEN

SÃœDITALIENS" . the author is Milan ReÅ¡etar. the book was printed in Vienna in 1911.

with regard to the german settlements, just remember the Longobard principalities in campania, folllowed by the german imperial domination under Frederick II Hohenstaufen. in more ancient times there was the gothic invasion, mentioned by a number of Late antiquity historians, which led to the Greek-gothic wars between goths and byzantines.
