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

Geography

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.
