'''Sarno''' is a town of [[Campania]], [[Italy]], in the [[province of Salerno]], 20 km northeast from the [[Salerno|city of Salerno]] and 60 km east of [[Naples]] by the main railway.
It lies at the foot of the [[Apennine Mountains|Apennines]], near the sources of the [[Sarno River]], called Sarnus in ancient times, a stream connected by canal with [[Pompei]] and the sea.
[[Paper]], [[cotton]], [[silk]], [[linen]] and [[hemp]] are manufactured. The [[travertine]] which forms round the [[spring (hydrosphere)|spring]]s of the Sarno was used even at ancient [[Pompeii]] as building material.
==History==
Before its incorporation with the domains of the crown of Naples, Sarno gave its name to a [[county]] held in succession by the [[Orsini]], Coppola, Suttavilla and [[Colonna]] families.
==Main sights==
Sarno has the ruins of a medieval Castle, which belonged to Count Francesco Coppola, who took an important part in the conspiracy of the barons against [[Ferdinand II of Aragon]] in [[1485]].
[[Walter III of Brienne]] is buried in the ancient church of ''Santa Maria della Foce'', rebuilt in [[1701]].
