Salerno

Salerno is an Italian municipality with 133,693 inhabitants, capital of the province of the same name in Campania, the second municipality in the region by number of inhabitants and the thirtieth at national level. The city of Salerno occupies a spectacular position overlooking the Gulf, where the splendid Amalfi Coast is located, a famous tourist destination in Italian Campania. It has a rich history and a deep-rooted tradition.

During the Middle Ages the city was the capital of the homonymous Lombard principality and then of the Norman duchy of Puglia and Calabria which included a large part of the continental South and was the original nucleus of the future Kingdom of Naples and the Two Sicilies.

Salerno was home to the School of Medicine, which was the first and most important medical institution in Europe at the beginning of the Middle Ages and as such is considered by many a forerunner of modern universities. Ideal heir to the famous medical school is the University of Salerno, located since 1988, in the form of a campus, in the neighboring municipalities of Fisciano and Baronissi.

From February to August 1944 Salerno was the seat of the Italian government,[10] hosting the governments Badoglio I, Badoglio II and Bonomi II which led to the Turn of Salerno.

Starting from the second half of the nineties, the city began a series of policies aimed at improving livability, urban decor and projecting, especially as regards tourism, Salerno at national and international level. The city is therefore a candidate to become one of the poles of cruise tourism and contemporary architecture, hosting works by the greatest architects of the 21st century, such as Fuksas, Zaha Hadid, Bohigas, Chipperfield, Calatrava and Bofill.
