Part of mount Paflagone, spur of Mount Cervialto, in Irpinia, the Sele with its 64 kilometres continues its way southwards, receiving in the territory of Contursi Terme its main tributary: the Tanagro.
The bridge linking Roscigno to Sacco in the territory of the latter crosses the Sammaro, exactly above the spring.
It springs from the confluence of the streams Platano and Melandro. Then it flows in a context of great environmental value between spectacular canyons.
Calore river is the son of Cilento entirely, which must be accompanied by the adjectives "Lucanian" or "Salernitan", to distinguish it from the northernmost homonym that flows between Irpinia and Sannio.
The ancients venerated it as a water divinity and represented it with a prolific white beard and, in their hands, a vase where precious water was flowing.
In the heart of Cilento National Park, Le Corne starts in the municipality of Sitio and continues for 36 kilometres until the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Apart from its Lucanian origin, Tanagro is the river of Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park, because it flows into it for most of its 92 meters course.
