Cerreto Sannita (Italian pronunciation: [tʃerˈreːto sanˈniːta]; Campanian: Cerrìte [tʃərˈriːtə]) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Benevento in the Italian region Campania, located about 60 km northeast of Naples and about 25 km northwest of Benevento.

The town was completely destroyed by the 1688 Sannio earthquake, and rebuilt in a different position.[5]
