SALERNO: FROM ITS ORIGINS UNTIL TODAY
It is said that Salerno was a small settlement founded by the Etruscans in the 6th century B.C. From this century until the 3rd century B.C. the settlement was abandoned. Then, the Romans conquered Salerno and it was established as a Roman colony and city in the 2nd century B.C. Since its foundation, the city has always been a crossing path between Lucania and Pompeii. In the 9th century, the city built its most known Medicine School, which increased the reputation of the city to unimaginable limits. In the 19th century, the Bourbons made Salerno even more famous and it started to be known as the Manchester of the two Sicily. Currently, apart from its active collaboration with the environment, Salerno has been awarded for its work to raise awareness about the importance of taking care of the earth.
