Human settlement at Salerno has a rich and vibrant past, dating back to pre-historic times. In theearly Middle Agesit was an independent Lombard principality, thePrincipality of Salerno,which around the 11th century comprised most of Southern Italy. During this time, theSchola Medica Salernitana,the first medical school in the world, was founded. The Normans in 1077 made Salerno the capital of their rule in all continental southern Italy. In the 16th century, under theSanseverinofamily, among the most powerful feudal lords in southern Italy, the city became a great centre of learning, culture and the arts, and the family hired several of the greatest intellectuals of the time.[8]Later, in 1694, the city was struck by several catastrophic earthquakes and plagues.[8]During a period of Spanish rule the city suffered a crisis which would last until the 18th century, but underNapoleonSalerno became part of theParthenopean Republic.[8]In the 19th century Salerno supported ideas of theRisorgimentoand welcomedGaribaldiin 1861.

The city is divided into three distinct zones: the medieval sector, the 19th century sector and the more densely populated post-war area, with its several apartment blocks.[8]Apatron saintof Salerno isSaint Matthew,theApostle,whoserelicsare kept here at thecryptofSalerno Cathedral.

History

edit

Prehistory and antiquity

edit

The area of what is now Salerno has been continuously settled sincepre-historicaltimes, as the discoveries of Neolithic mummy remains documents.[9]Inhabited byOscan-speakingpopulations, the region was colonized by theEtruscans,who founded the city ofIrnthiin the 6th century BC, across the Irno river, in what is today city quarter of Fratte, as a part of theirDodecapolispolitical model they essentially replicated inCampania.This settlement represented an important base for Etruscan trade with the nearby Greek colonies ofPosidoniaandElea.It was occupied by theSamnitesaround the 5th century BC as a consequence of theBattle of Cumae(474 BC) as part of theSyracusansphere of influence.

With theRomanadvance in Campania, Irna began to lose its importance, being supplanted by the new Roman colony (197 BC) ofSalernum,developing around an initialcastrum.The new city, which gradually lost its military function in favour of its role as a trade centre, was connected to Rome by theVia Popilia,which ran towardsLucaniaandReggio Calabria.

Archaeological remains, although fragmentary, suggest the idea of a flourishing and lively city. Under the EmperorDiocletian,in the late 3rd century AD, Salernum became the administrative centre of the "Lucania and Bruttii" province.

In the following century, during theGothic Wars,the Goths were defeated by theByzantines,and the Salerno briefly returned to the control of Constantinople (from 553 to 568), before theLombardsinvaded almost the whole peninsula. Like many coastal cities of southern Italy (Gaeta,Sorrento,Amalfi), Salerno initially remained untouched by the newcomers, falling only in 646. It subsequently became part of theDuchy of Benevento.

Middle Ages to early modern age

edit
The Principality of Salerno in 1000

Under the Lombard dukes Salerno enjoyed the most splendid period of its history.

In 774Arechis II of Beneventotransferred the seat of the Duchy of Benevento to Salerno, in order to eludeCharlemagne's offensive and to secure for himself the control of a strategic area, the centre of coastal and internal communications in Campania.

With Arechis II, Salerno became a centre of studies with its famousMedical School.The Lombard prince ordered the city to be fortified; the Castle on the Bonadies mountain had already been built with walls and towers. In 839 Salerno declared independence from Benevento, becoming the capital of a flourishing principality stretching out toCapua,northernCalabriaandApuliaup toTaranto.In 871–872, theAghlabidsbesieged Salerno,but the city was relieved byLouis II of Italy.

Around the year 1000 princeGuaimar IVannexedAmalfi,Sorrento,Gaetaand the whole duchy of Apulia and Calabria, starting to conceive a future unification of the whole southern Italy under Salerno's arms. The coins minted in the city circulated all over the Mediterranean, with theOpulenta Salernumwording to certify its richness.

Salerno capital of the Norman "Ducato di Puglia e Calabria" in 1100

However, the stability of the Principate was continually shaken by theSaracenattacks and, most of all, by internal struggles. In 1056, one of the numerous plots led to the fall of Guaimar. His weaker sonGisulf IIsucceeded him, but the decline of the principality had begun. In 1077 Salerno reached its zenith but soon lost all its territory to the Normans.

The Schola Medica Salernitana in a miniature fromAvicenna'sCanon

On 13 December 1076, the Norman conquerorRobert Guiscard,who had married Guaimar IV's daughterSikelgaita,besieged Salerno and defeated his brother-in-law Gisulf. In this period the royal palace of Castel Terracena and thecathedralwere built, and science was boosted as theSchola Medica Salernitana,open towomenlikeTrota of SalernoandMercuriadealso, considered the most ancient medical institution of the European West, reached its maximum splendour with text likeTrotula.At this time in the late 11th century, the city was home to 50,000 people.[10]

In 1100, Salerno was made the capital of Norman southern Italy, afterMelfi.

Salerno was the most important city of the Normans for half a century, but with theNorman conquest of southern Italy,the city of Palermo started to substitute Salerno as the most important city for the Normans. Indeed, Salerno played a little part in the fall of theCounty of Sicily,after theEmperor Henry VI's invasion on behalf of his wife,Constance,the heiress to the kingdom, in 1191, Salerno surrendered and promised loyalty on the mere news of an incoming army.

This so disgusted the archbishop,Nicolò d'Aiello(from Naples), that he abandoned the city and fled toNaples,which held out in a siege. In 1194, the situation reversed itself: Naples capitulated, along with most other cities of the Mezzogiorno, and only Salerno resisted. It was sacked and pillaged, much reducing its importance and prosperity.

Henry had his reasons, though. He had entrusted Constance to some important Salerno citizens (advised & "ruled" by the archbishop d'Aiello) and after his retreat from invasion in 1191 they had received letters about the events from Nicolò D'Aiello and so betrayed Henry, attacked Constance at Castel Terracena and handed her over to KingTancred of Sicily,making the Empress captive for nearly one year. The combined treachery and stubbornness of D'Aiello and his followers cost Salerno much after theHohenstaufenconquest: Henry's son,Frederick II,moreover, issued a series of edicts that reduced Salerno's role in favour of Naples (in particular, the foundation of theUniversity of Naplesin that city).

Salerno in a print from the 17th century

AtCharles II of Naples,his fatherCharles I of Anjougranted the Principality of Salerno in the Kingdom of Sicily (or Regno) in 1272.

From the 14th century onwards, most of the Salerno province became the territory of the Princes ofSanseverino,powerful feudal lords who acted as real owners of the region. They accumulated enormous political and administrative power and attracted artists and men of letters in their own princely palace. In the 15th century, the city was the scene of battles between theAngevinand theAragoneseroyal houses with whom the local lords took sides alternatingly.

In the first decades of the 16th century, the last descendant of the Sanseverino princes,Ferdinando Sanseverino,was in conflict with the viceroy of the king ofSpain,mainly because of his opposition to theInquisition,causing the ruin of the whole family and the beginning of a long period of decadence for the city.

A slow renewal of the city occurred in the 18th century with the end of the Spanish dominion and the construction of many refined houses and churches characterising the main streets of the historical centre. In 1799 Salerno was incorporated into theParthenopean Republic.During theNapoleonic era,firstJoseph Bonaparteand thenJoachim Muratascended the Neapolitan throne. The latter decreed the closing of the Schola Medica Salernitana, which had been declining for decades to the level of a theoretical school. In the same period, even the religious orders were suppressed and numerous ecclesiastical properties were confiscated.

The city expanded beyond the ancient walls and sea connections were potentiated as they represented an important road network that crossed the town connecting the eastern plain with the area leading to Vietri andNaples.

Late modern and contemporary

edit

Salerno was an active center ofCarbonariactivities supporting the unification of Italy in the 19th century.[11]The majority of the population of Salerno supported ideas of theRisorgimentoagainst theBourbon,and in 1861 many of them joinedGaribaldiin his struggle for unification.[12]

After theunification of Italy,a slow urban development continued, many suburban areas were enlarged and large public and private buildings were created. The city went on developing untilWorld War II.Its population rose from 20,000 people around 1861s unification to 80,000 in the early 20th century.

During the 19th century, foreign industries started settling in Salerno: in 1830 the first textile mill was established by the Swiss entrepreneur Züblin Vonwiller, followed by Schlaepfer-Wenner's textile mills and dye factories; the Wenner family settled permanently in Salerno. In 1877 the city was the site of as many as 21 textile mills employing around ten thousand workers; in comparison with the four thousand employed in Turin's textile industry, Salerno was sometimes referred to as the "Manchesterof the two Sicilies ".

The Allied landing at Salerno (September 1943)

In September 1943, during World War II, Salerno was the scene ofOperation Avalanche,theinvasion of Italylaunched by theAllies of World War II,and suffered a great deal of damage.Henry Wellesley, 6th Duke of Wellington,who was killed in action during the fighting, is buried in Salerno War Cemetery.[13]From 12 February to 17 July 1944, it hosted the Government of MarshalPietro Badoglio.In those months Salerno was the provisional government seat of theKingdom of Italy,and the KingVittorio Emanuele IIIlived in a mansion in its outskirts.

After the war the population of the city doubled in a few years, going from 80,000 in 1946 to nearly 160,000 in 1976.

Geography

edit

The city is situated at the northwestern end of the plain of theSele River,at the exact beginning of theAmalfi coast.The small river Irno crosses through the central section of Salerno. The highest point is "Monte Stella" with its 953 metres (3,127 ft).[14]

Climate

edit

Salerno has aMediterranean climate,with a hot and relatively dry summer (highs of 31 °C (88 °F) in July and August) and a rainy fall and winter (highs of 13 °C (55 °F) in January). Usually there is nearly 1,000 mm (39 in) of rain every year. The strong wind that comes from the mountains toward theGulf of Salernomakes the city very windy (mainly in winter). However, this gives Salerno the advantage of being one of the sunniest towns in Italy.
