San Severino is an Italian village and hamlet (frazione) of the municipality of Centola[2] in the Province of Salerno, Campania.

The original settlement is located upon a hill but was gradually abandoned during the end of the 19th century after the construction of a railway line.

[3] Nowadays, the ancient village is a ghost town and a preserved heritage, because of the conservation status of its medieval structure.

[4][5] Located in the valley of Mingardo river, close to the mount Bulgheria, San Severino is found along the provincial road SP 109, in southern Cilento.

In San Severino, there is a railway station of Centola which is part of the Salerno-Reggio Calabria line, linking the village to direct trains to Naples and Cosenza.
