Eboli

Eboli is a commune in the Province of Salerno that spreads across gentle hills at the edge of the wide plain. The settlement sits on raised ground and looks out over farmland in the surrounding area.

The first traces of human settlement reach back to the Bronze Age. In the 5th century before Christ, communities lived here that later changed shape under Roman rule.

The name comes from ancient times and recalls early settlers in this part of Campania. Today you can explore narrow lanes that wind between old stone houses in the center.

The town serves as a starting point for trips into the surrounding plain and the hilly countryside of the region. Simple train connections allow day trips to Salerno or other towns in Campania.

A writer mentioned this place in a book to describe a historical boundary in the Italian south. Since then the place name stands as a literary symbol for social differences.
