Sant'Agata de' Goti

Sant'Agata de' Goti is a comune (municipality) and former Catholic bishopric in the Province of Benevento in the Italian region Campania, located about 35 km (22 mi) northeast of Naples and about 25 km (16 mi) west of Benevento near the Monte Taburno.

Sant'Agata is not far from the ancient Samnite town of Saticula.

The "Goths" (Italian: Goti) part of the town's name does not derive from the (Ostro) Gothic domination of Italy (5th–6th centuries), but from the noble Gascon De Goth family, who held it in the 14th century.
