For the ancients it was the Stygian lake, which Virgil mentions in the Aeneid, telling about Palinuro’s death.
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.
Born of Mount Paflagone, a buttress of Mount Cervialto, in the heart of the Picentini Mountains Regional Park in Irpinia, the Sele River, at the beginning of its course, feeds the Apulian Aqueduct (Acquedotto Pugliese) in Caposele.
Affluente di destra del Sele, il suo percorso di 17 chilometri è concentrato tutto nella provincia di Salerno ed è legato alla cittadina di Campagna, che caratterizza con la sua suggestiva presenza in ogni parte del centro storico.
In its name, the word “river” is included. This torrent is the main right tributary of the Mingardo. It rises from Mount Antilia and flows for ten kilometres in the province of Salerno.
It springs from the confluence of the streams Platano and Melandro. Then it flows in a context of great environmental value between spectacular canyons.
With its 37 kilometres, it is among Cilento main watercourses, of which it is particularly rich. It rises from the slopes of mount Cervati, 900 metres of altitude from the spring of Varco La Pela in the municipality of Sanza.
