History edit
The village was destroyed in the Irpinia earthquake of 1980 and rebuilt a few kilometers away. The ghost town became a tourist attraction in the early 2000s [3] almost like the other one in the province: Roscigno Vecchia. The current baron of the small town is Francesco Torella di Romagnano who now resides in England.
Geography edit
Romagnano is situated in the northern side of the cilentan geographical region, at the borders of Campania with Basilicata. The new town lies in the localities of Ariola (mainly) and Palazzo.
