Alfano is a village and small comune in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of south-western Italy.

However, according to tradition, a large city existed on the slopes of Mount Centaurino, near the present frazione of Roccagloriosa.

This palace, a large building complex elevated above the town,[5] contains a central courtyard.

The commune is a renowned producer of wine, despite the soils being amongst the poorest in the country due to the harsh, dry climate of the territory.

Local grape varieties were introduced to Elea and Paestum by ancient Greek colonists and adapted to grow in clay-calcareous soils and the climate of the area.
