Lungomare Trieste, Mediterranean seaside promenade in Salerno, Italy.
Lungomare Trieste is a waterfront promenade along the Tyrrhenian Sea in Salerno, stretching for several kilometers along the coast. It features three parallel avenues separated by flowerbeds and rows of palms that create a structured yet open walking experience.
Construction of this promenade began in 1920 and was later expanded using volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius. Some materials came from rubble of buildings destroyed during World War II aerial bombardments, mixing natural and wartime debris.
This promenade regularly hosts local artist exhibitions, musical performances, and gatherings that reflect regional traditions. People come here to walk, socialize, and enjoy the evening light, making it a living part of daily local life.
The promenade sits close to the train station and maritime terminal, making it easy to reach and navigate from these transport hubs. The pathways are flat and generously wide, so they work well for casual walking and for people with limited mobility.
The walkway incorporates volcanic ash from the 1944 Vesuvius eruption into its physical structure. This unusual material choice creates a lasting connection between the promenade and one of the region's most powerful natural events.
