SantAngelo

Sant'Angelo is a toponym used in Italy for several settlements and localities. The name means Saint Angelo in Italian and is typically linked to churches or sanctuaries dedicated to a saint named Angelo, most commonly the Archangel Michael.

Across the country, the toponym appears as a comune or as a frazione within a larger municipality. Its use reflects historical religious devotion and the influence of local churches on place naming.

Notable examples include Sant'Angelo in Pontano in Marche (province of Macerata); Sant'Angelo Lodigiano in Lombardy (Lodi); Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi in Avellino, Campania; Sant'Angelo d'Alife in Caserta, Campania; Sant'Angelo di Piove di Sacco in Padua, Veneto; Sant'Angelo Romano in Rome province, Lazio. In addition, the island village of Sant'Angelo on Ischia, off the coast near Naples, is a historic district known for its medieval character and tourism.

The widespread use of the name underscores its roots in religious tradition, with many places historically centered around a church, chapel, or sanctuary dedicated to Saint Angelo.
