San Mauro Cilento is a town and comune in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of south-western Italy.
History
The town was first mentioned in 1130. Its secondary toponym, Casalsoprano (or Casal Soprano, i. e. Upper Farmhouse),[4] is closely related to the one of the nearby and lower village of Casalsottano (i.e. Lower Farmhouse).[5] In 1453, after the fall of Constantinople, the wealthy family of the Mazza fled the city and contributed to the construction and continued development of San Mauro Cilento.
Geography
San Mauro is a hillside town located in central Cilento, below the Stella mountain (1,131 amsl). It is divided into the quarters of Ratto, Serra, Sorrentini and Vallongella.[5] Its municipal territory, part of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park, spans to the coast and borders with Montecorice, Pollica, Serramezzana and Sessa Cilento.[6]
Its hamlets (frazioni) are the villages of Casalsottano and Mezzatorre.
Culture
The town includes two little museums: the Eleousa, that includes an archive and a library,[7][8] and the Parish Museum of San Mauro.
One of the most prominent cultural events is Settembre ai Fichi (i.e. "September to the Figs"), a sagra that is held every year from the end of August to the beginnings of September.[9]
