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 current baron of the small town is Francesco Torella di Romagnano who now resides in England.
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.
