Postcards from Vallo di Diano

VALLO DI DIANO

The Vallo di Diano, located in the southern area of Salerno, is an outstandingly fascinating territory, it contains history, nature, folklore, traditions and hospitality.

This valley was born from a Pleistocene lake, it is surrounded by mountains, including the Mount Cervati, the tallest peak in Campania; while the Tanagro is the river which flows through the valley.

The activity of the water has transformed the shape of the territory and has influenced the lives of the inhabitants of the area, settled here since extremely remote times.

The valuable artistic and monumental patrimony, held by all of the towns of the valley, has made it possible for the territory to become a “centre of interest”, with the necessary territorial protection in order to preserve its uniqueness.
