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]]. ==References== <references/> {{1911}} <br style="clear:right"/> {{Province of Salerno}} [[Category:Cities and towns in Campania]] {{Campania-geo-stub}} [[ca:Sarno (Campània)]] [[de:Sarno (Kampanien)]] [[eo:Sarno (Italio)]] [[fr:Sarno]] [[id:Sarno]] [[it:Sarno]] [[hu:Sarno (város)]] [[nl:Sarno]] [[ja:サルノ]] [[nap:Sarno]] [[pl:Sarno]] [[pt:Sarno]] [[roa-tara:Sarno]] [[vo:Sarno]]
