Quaglietta is an Italian hamlet (frazione) situated in the municipality of Calabritto, Province of Avellino, Campania. As of 2011 its population was of 443.
==History== Town's name origins, meaning in Italian "little quail", is debated. A different historical hypothesis talks about the transformation of the Latin name Acquae Electae (meaning Selected Water). Autonomous municipality until 1928, it merged into the one of Calabritto as hamlet. It was seriously damaged by the 1980 Irpinia earthquake, along with the other surrounding areas.
