The town is divided in Roscigno Nuova (New Roscigno, simply referred as Roscigno), the new settlement built after a landslide at the old settlement; now named Roscigno Vecchia (Old Roscigno), distant 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) from the "new town".
Roscigno Vecchia (Old Roscigno, also named Roscigno Vecchio – 40°24′07″N15°20′21″E / 40.401823°N 15.339255°E / 40.401823; 15.339255) is an example of a 19th-century rural town developed around a central square and a church unmodified by modern architectural or infrastructural changes.
It has been completely abandoned since the early 20th century, when the population moved to Roscigno Nuovo due to a landslide. Now open for tourism, the ghost town was declared an eco museum[4] in the early 21st century. Nearby, and also in the province of Salerno, there is another example of ghost town: the old village of Romagnano al Monte.
Some 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) outside the town is the archaeological site on Monte Pruno, a settlement of the Oenotrians and the Lucani (7th-3rd centuries BC).
