Salerno and its surrounds: this land so variegated that stretchs out its arms to the sea, is the ideal destination to who wants to travel with eyes, heart and free mind, looking for deep and involving experiences. Salerno is the central pearl of the Gulf of Salerno.  Prototype of city laboratory and remarkable example of city recovery, currently Salerno is a city in full rebirth. Entering the city, you have initially the perception to reach a modern center, as the city structure has known a remarkable development between the last years of XIX the century and the post-war period. Genuinely, pushing towards the slopes of the hill dominated from the castle of Arechi, the historic centre is revealed to the guest's eyes , is the heart push-button of Salerno, rich of artistic, historical and gastronomic traditions, that guards jealously the medieval and seafaring character of the city; in its tight narrow streets the guest can find modern stores locals alternated to the traditional workshops, than still preserve the secrets of the ancient typical handicraft activities of the zone.

One of the most charming and colourful road of the world covers the Amalfi Coast, that is introduced to the eyes of the guest like a show of the nature, modelled on a vertical landscape, with breathtaking an overhanging rocks on the sea, within which the men, with their own artistic sensibility, typical of the local population, have sculpted roads, buildings, garden and loggia. Wild, dared and romantic, the  Amalfi Coast is an obliged destination when doing a travel in Italy, with its inseparable interlaces between sea and mounts, agriculture and tourism, the delicious products of the generous earth and the delicious fish and shellfish of this sea. Under a limpid sky gradually has been developed an interlace of several civilizations, Greek, Roman, Arab, tracking down in a alley, in a cloister, in a majolic wall of one of any splendid small village of this land.

In the inner zone, the territory of the Picentini is introduced like a value added to the prestigious tourist proposals of the Salerno's surround. Thanks to its strategic position, between the Amalfi Coast, Salerno and the Cilento Coast, this territory offers to the guest an unusual trip, discovering an amazing region, rich in quality, cordial acceptance and ancient tastes. The territory offers variegated paths for who is looking for monuments of incomparable historical and artistic value or to who that wants to undertake a religious pilgrimage, remaining in the several places of veneration present in this land, or still, for who wishes living to tightened contact with the nature or for who is searching for ancient custom tied to the rural tradition.

The Cilento territory has been called "living landscape" for the arched human settlement, for the Basilian monasteries, for city system, for cave sculptures, for necropolis, for the sacred places and the manufactures, and is named "living landscape": « situated in the center of the Mediterranean, is the Park for excellence because, like this sea, is the thousand-year place that collect the environment with several civilizations ». The Cilento, seduces the visitor with its steepest reefs that sink in the crystalline sea, with its candid seasides, with the medieval villages situated on the side of the hills. Here we are distant from the chaos of metropolis: here the guest enters in a different dimension in which he can lives in the ancient way, in a universe in which the existence it is accompanied from the solemn rhythm of the seasons.

And again with a new atmosphere and with the talent and the human creativity, we are now in Vallo di Diano, rich of wonders, like the grottos of Pertosa, the medieval village of Teggiano or the Certosa of Padula, place of quiet and prayer, but also remarkable center of knowledge and scolarship. Thanks to its location, this region already, in remote ages, was shown as a cross-roads of several civilizations. The river Tanagro, the Niger of the Roman, covers the Vallo di Diano along all its extension, and in the past centuries it has considerably influenced the history of this region, tied to the multiple attempt of channelling and drainage of waters. In the past, when the river flooded, the waters submerged the flat, rendering it a marshy and unhealthy place; currently, the new water geological order and the work of the man have converted the Vallo in one healthy agricultural region. In these places the guest remains fascinated by a wild landscape, refined by the smooth down masses, by the abundant forests of various plants, nourished from the plentiful water that flows without time.
