The village was probably founded by the ancient Italic people of the Morgetes. It was later colonized by the Ancient Roman, as witnessed by some ruins in a locality named Rumanuru.[3]
The municipality, located in southern Cilento and part of its national park, is crossed by the Bussento river. It borders with Casaletto Spartano, Caselle in Pittari, Santa Marina, Torre Orsaia and Tortorella.[4] Its only hamlet (frazione) is the village of Sicilì, that has a population of 364.[5]
