Salerno - Italian Movie Trips

This tranquil port city is where the U.S. Army first landed forces in WWII. Along the Salerno seafront promenade you'll find a cathedral with the remains of St. Matthew along with Greek artifacts sampled from nearby Paestum -- a small town renowned for a greater concentration of well-preserved Greek temples than you'll find anywhere but Sicily. You can read more about Paestum in the works of early Romantic writers, who rediscovered the area and made it famous.
