It is one of the most beautiful and industrious town in South Italy. Helped by an excellent location, in the north edge of the huge homonimous Gulf, where the natural ways of communication have their outlet in the hinterland of Basilicata, Irpinia and Campania, the town of Salerno, rich of ancient and illustrious history, delightfully adorned by charming sorroundings, extending toward the two sides of the gulf and which are known also for their mild climate, spreads out between the overhead hills and the seaside, with its districts, which, from west eastwards, underline the historical development of the town, from Roman Age to the post-war period.

The urban centre, at the foot of Bonadies hill, between the XVI century church of Annunziata, with its beautiful baroque bell tower made by Sanfelice, and the XVIII century Porta Nuova, which divides the modern built-up area from the medieval one, testifies, with its monuments, the opulence of the town during the periods of its greatest civil, cultural and political prosperity, still famous worldwide for the magnificence of the Scuola Medica Salernitana.
