Vallo della Lucania (commonly known simply as Vallo) is a town and comune in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of south-western Italy. It lies in the middle of Cilento and its population is 8,680.[2]
History
A settlement called Castrum Cornutum (meaning: "Fortress of Cornutans") is documented in the 13th century: according to the Italian historian Giuseppe Maiese, it had been founded by colonists from Cornutum, an ancient city in Dalmatia. In the 18th century the town changed its name to Vallo di Novi. In 1806, during the French government of the Kingdom of Naples, it was made a district capital.
Geography
The town is located in the middle of the Cilento and its National Park, close to Gelbison mountain.
The municipality borders with Cannalonga, Castelnuovo Cilento, Ceraso, Gioi, Moio della Civitella, Novi Velia, and Salento.[3] The hamlets (frazioni) are Angellara, Massa, and Pattano.

Vallo della Lucania is part of the Empathic Movement (Empathism) and it is the place where the Centro Contemporaneo delle Arti was founded in 2019.[4] The Village represents the Center of the Cultural Pyramid of Cilento.[5] Vallo della Lucania also hosted the Cilento Poetry Prize twice.[6]
