TheTelegraphhas collected the 21 destinations that no one would ever think to visit, including Italians, and that instead deserve to be seen. At the top of the listin the British newspaper isMarina di Pisciotta, a village in the province ofSalernoin Campania with less than 3 thousand inhabitants. Pisciotta is part of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. The characteristic pastel houses are located in alleyways that wind around the country. Following an obligatory route, you emerge in small squares where you can still meet the locals who delight in playing cards or watching all this happen around them. A place from other times, as perhaps there are many in Italy. But Pisciotta is different. The village has developed around the top of a low steep hill overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, on whose sides flow two streams, the Fiori and the S. Macario. The first hypotheses about the origins of Pisciotta are related to the destruction of Troy. In 650 BC, the Trojans, who escaped the fire and destruction of the city, landed on the Ionian shore, where they founded Siri. The inhabitants of Siri then advanced westward, following the wide valley of the river Sinni, to the lake and Mount Sirino (which they named after), in what is now Lagonegro. They then went to the Tyrrhenian Sea, on the shore of today's Gulf of Policastro. That's where they founded the Pixous colony. In 194 BC the Greek Pixous became the Roman Buxentum and in 915 Pisciotta was born. In just 4 kilometres it contains many of the elements that make Cilento unique: in addition to the crystal clear sea of Marina di Pisciotta, an unspoilt hinterland, history and traditions. Viewed from the sea Pisciotta emerges among the olive trees, is guarded by other hills on the right and is missing and overlooks a small gulf. The pretty medieval village is the one that has been best preserved throughout Cilento. The noble palaces and the Mother Church are defended from all the other ancient stone buildings. The best starting point to visit the village is the large square Raffaele Pinto, still the cultural and social center of the village. Climbing the stairs you arrive at the first panoramic point, Piazzetta del Cannone: a small suspended terrace opens the view on the roofs of the houses and the hills that line the Fiore river. Moving on, you will find yourself at the foot of the eighteenth-century Marquis Palace, erected by the Pappacoda family, the country's feudal lords. Of considerable architectural interest are the portal and the imposing sandstone staircase, in addition to the arches and the facade. The Palace, which houses the Municipal Library, overlooks the expanse of centuries-old olive trees that descend towards the sea up to the small marina. Later you can admire another noble palace, Palazzo Francia, overlooking a square very dear to pisciottani because it is dedicated to a benefactor doctor, Michelangelo Pagano. Going down Via Pendino, you will discover the remains of the ancient Romanesque church of 1200 and the tiny Chapel of Mercede, dear tothe fishermenwho thanked the Virgin on her return from fishing. Close to the Chapel is the Palazzo Vescovile dei Lancellotti, and, a little further down, Palazzo Ciaccio. In short, this village offers an interesting excursion into the Middle Ages. But few - foreigners and even Italians – know him. Registration Details IT065096B4N97XQFY7
