I love going down from Calvanico and having a coffee in the little square in Castiglione.

The church has a rectangular plan, with three naves, the central one being the widest and highest; it has a semi-circular apse. The main structure is in reinforced concrete and has latero-cement roof floors. Internally the walls are plastered and painted in white; the colonnade with arches that separates the three naves has gold-colored shafts. The floor of the hall is in marble tiles of different colors. The main façade reflects the internal configuration of the three naves with the central body, higher, which houses, with a porticoed area, the entrance with a marble portal and wooden frame.

The church was built in the 11th century with the original name of Santa Maria de Conce, probably due to the presence of a tannery in the area, and is also mentioned with this name in a document from 1309[1]; this name was probably changed at the beginning of the 16th century to the current one of Santa Maria della Pietà on the occasion of the reconstruction and elevation to Collegiate by Pope Clement VII.

Plain crossed by the river sele crossed several times to reach Paestum. It is advisable to bring at least two bottles of water with you as there are no supply points between Salerno and Paestum.

The Sele plain (also Paestum plain or Eboli plain) is a plain of about 700 km² crossed by the Sele river in the province of Salerno, bounded to the north by the southern foothills of the Picentini mountains, to the east by the Sele valley, to the south by reliefs of Cilento and to the west washed by the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Gulf of Salerno.

Piazza Portanova is the access to the historic centre. The door, rebuilt in the eighteenth century, leads into the beautiful and scenic Piazza Flavio Gioia, known as the Rotonda due to the arched shape of the buildings that form the backdrop. In Roman times, villas and industrial establishments crowded the Portanova district, which today instead shows a marked commercial vocation. Piazza Portanova is in fact located between the beginning of via Mercanti and corso Vittorio Emanuele, the main shopping streets in Salerno. The square takes its name from the presence of a gate located at the beginning of via dei Mercanti, destroyed by a flood and then rebuilt "nova", to make way for Castel Terracena. The gate that until the 19th century closed the walls of the eastern border of the city is located on the side towards the sea, between Piazza Portanova and Piazza Flavio Gioia. It was built in 1754, to replace a previous one, by the master Ragozzino. At its top is a grandiose statue of St. Matthew, the patron saint and protector of the city, by the sculptor Francesco Pagano.
