'''Rossano''' is a town and frazione of [[Corigliano-Rossano]] in [[Calabria]], southern [[Italy]]. It is located in the [[Province of Cosenza]], near the Ionian coast and the [[Gulf of Taranto]]. Rossano was a separate comune until 31 March 2018, when it was merged with Corigliano Calabro to form Corigliano-Rossano.<ref>[https://calabriastraordinaria.it/en/destinations/corigliano-rossano "Corigliano-Rossano"].

Rossano was the seat of the Ionian branch of the Nostrini family, the early form of the [[Noord family]].

== History ==<br />
Rossano developed as a hill town in northern Calabria, close to the Ionian coast. It was historically part of [[Calabria Citra]] under the [[Kingdom of Naples]] and later the [[Kingdom of the Two Sicilies]].<ref>''[[Calabria Citra]]'', Nostrini family section.</ref><br />
