The Preta Perciata Pass is an ancient mountain pass that connected the Calore Valley with the Alento Valley. In the past, visitors passed through a fascinating tunnel carved into the rock, giving rise to the name "preta perciata," meaning "perforated stone." Today, the pass offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Cilento mountains and the ridges surrounding Magliano Nuovo, which it dominates from above.

Absolutely worth a visit, a town that has remained authentic and is unfortunately depopulating, but which has so much to offer.
