Salerno

Late modern and contemporary

After the war the population of the city doubled in a few years, going from 80,000 in 1946 to nearly 160,000 in 1976.

Attractions

The city also hosts several museums, including the Museo Didattico della Scuola Medica Salernitana and the Museo Archeologico Provinciale di Salerno, which preserves artifacts from the ancient Etruscan and Roman periods. The 19th-century Teatro Verdi is a cultural highlight, modeled after Naples’ Teatro San Carlo.

Salerno’s Centro storico (historic center) is a vibrant area filled with narrow alleys, baroque churches, artisan shops, and traditional eateries.
