**Stio** is a town and *[comune](/source/Comune)* in the [province of Salerno](/source/Province_of_Salerno) in the [Campania](/source/Campania) region of south-western [Italy](/source/Italy). As of 2016, its population was 872.[2]

## History

The village was founded in the beginnings of the 11th century. The origin of the name is debated, and it has been supposed it could derive from the [Latin](/source/Latin_language) word *Ostium* ("entrance"), or others.[3]

## Geography

Located in the middle of [Cilento](/source/Cilento), and part of [its national park](/source/Cilento_and_Vallo_di_Diano_National_Park), Stio is a hilltown near the springs of [Alento](/source/Alento_(Campania)) river and the forest area of [Pruno](/source/Pruno_(Cilento)). The municipality borders with [Campora](/source/Campora), [Gioi](/source/Gioi), [Laurino](/source/Laurino), [Magliano Vetere](/source/Magliano_Vetere) and [Orria](/source/Orria).[4] It counts a single hamlet (*[frazione](/source/Frazione)*), that is the village of [Gorga](/source/Gorga_(Stio)), 3 km far from it and with a population of 160.[5]

The town is composed by the medieval old town and spans, along the national highway SR 488, with two more recent areas: Via Amendola in the west, and Via Mazzini in the east. The upper area, named Piano del Rosario and composed by some scattered houses surrounded by a forest, is located above the village of Gorga.
