Sant'Egidio del Monte Albino (Campanian: San Gilje) s a town and comune in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of southern Italy.
Located at the feet of the Monti Lattari, the town is bordered by Angri, Corbara, Pagani, San Marzano sul Sarno and Tramonti.
In the 8th century, the nocerini who had escaped from Nuceria Alfaterna took refuge there and the monks founded the Abbey of San Nicola and Sant'Egidio, which later became Santa Maddalena in Armillis.
The poet and composer Aniello Califano was from Sant'Egidio, who wrote the famous song 'O surdato 'nnammurato.
Sights include the so-called Fonte Helvius, a Roman marble slab portraying the god Sarnus: it contains a fountain fed by an ancient subterranean aqueduct.
