Romagnano al Monte is a village and comune of the province of Salerno in the Campania region of southern Italy.
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] like another village in the province: Roscigno Vecchia. The current baron of the small town is Francesco Torella di Romagnano who now resides in England.
