San Fratello (Gallo-Italic: San Frareau; Sicilian: Santu Frateddu), formerly San Filadelfo (Medieval Latin: Castrum S. Philadelphi; Classical Latin: Apollonia, from Greek), is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Messina in the Italian region Sicily, located about 110 kilometres (68 mi) east of Palermo and about 90 kilometres (56 mi) west of Messina. San Fratello borders the following municipalities: Acquedolci, Alcara li Fusi, Caronia, Cesarò, Militello Rosmarino, Sant'Agata di Militello.
Its peak of population was in 1921, with 10,094. In the following decade, it lost nearly 20 percent of its population, as people migrated for work to cities and to other countries, especially the United States.
