Sellano is built on the hill that overlooks the course of the Vigi river, archaeological findings suggest that the site was already inhabited in pre-Roman times and certainly the first development as a feud dates back to the Longobard era.

The municipality of Sellano includes many smaller villages, most of which present elements of considerable historical and architectural interest.

The nature of the surrounding valleys and mountains is pristine and varied, rich in diverse flora and fauna, ideal for eco-tourism and trekking.
