Giffoni Valle Piana

Giffoni Valle Piana extends across 88 square kilometers of terrain, from industrial zones near Salerno to the Picentini mountain ranges at 196 meters elevation.

The territory was originally the site of ancient Picenza, which experienced two destructions during Roman conquest campaigns in southern Italy.

The community preserves religious traditions at the Church of the Annunziata, where a sacred thorn from Jesus's crown remains protected in a special reliquary.

The municipal administration maintains an office at Via Vignadonica 19, where residents can obtain official documents and genealogical records through formal requests.

Since 1971, this municipality hosts a children's film festival that has grown into the largest international youth cinema event in the world.
