Battipaglia, Commune in Province of Salerno, Italy.
Battipaglia extends across 56 square kilometers at 72 meters above sea level, featuring a mix of agricultural lands and urban developments.
The municipality gained independence on March 28, 1929, combining territories from neighboring towns during the Mussolini government administration period.
The Festa della Speranza transforms the town center into a market every first Sunday of July, ending with musical performances in Piazza Amendola.
The town maintains agricultural production facilities specializing in buffalo mozzarella, Carciofo di Paestum artichokes, and Fiaschello tomatoes.
The name originates from two Italian words: 'batti' meaning to thresh and 'paglia' meaning straw, indicating the location's agricultural background.
