Province of Salerno

The Province of Salerno extends from the Tyrrhenian Sea coastline through rolling hills to mountainous regions, encompassing both the Amalfi Coast and Cilento National Park.

During World War II, the province gained strategic importance when Salerno city became the temporary capital of Italy after King Victor Emmanuel III relocated there in 1943.

The territory maintains deep connections with traditional crafts, including the production of Mozzarella di Bufala, ceramics, and textile manufacturing in numerous local workshops.

Transportation networks connect 158 municipalities through a system of roads and rail lines, making destinations from coastal towns to mountain villages readily accessible.

The province contains multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Greek temples of Paestum and the Certosa di Padula, which stands as the largest Carthusian monastery in Italy.
