Founded by the Lombards, Salento (whose name originally was Sala di Gioi, as it was written in a document kept in the Holy Trinity Abbey in Cava de' Tirreni) is a town characterized by traditional tastes, perched on a hill between woods and colonic houses , alleys and narrow streets. Surrounded by olive trees, vineyards and chestnut grove in the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park, it is the ideal place for a naturalistic-hiking-enologist and gastronomic tourism.
