Semi - indipendente

The cluster is in the Sele plain near the mouth of the Sele river, with flat agricultural land around Battipaglia and the first rises of the Monti Picentini inland. The Tyrrhenian coast is about 8 km away on the Gulf of Salerno, with the long beach belt of the Piana del Sele toward Eboli and Pontecagnano. The Monti Picentini Regional Park lies inland to the northeast, but outside the immediate plain. Salerno is the nearest city of size, with full urban services, rail connections and the port. Paestum, with the UNESCO archaeological area and temples, is farther down the plain and matters for visits but is outside the immediate surroundings. The area is known for intensive agriculture and for buffalo-milk mozzarella production in the Sele plain.
