The Cilento, sweet land of morphologies hill, covered with expanses of olive trees verdecenere that are reflected in the blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea and at the same time, land very rough shape by deeply etched by bright streams, the appearance raie lunar forests of chestnuts and oaks , Villages clinging to rocks or adagiati on the banks. Few imagine that determine this fresco, made of beautiful shapes and colors appear in stark contrast, both the dual nature of the geological rocks that make up the Cilento: the "Flysch Cilento, which has its maximum spread at the basin idrogeografico Alento River and the main western mountains of Cilento, such as Monte Centaurino (1433 m), and that of "limestone rocks that make up the complex mountainous interior (Sapwood-Cervati) and southern (Bulgheria Monte, Monte Cocuzza) National Park Cilento and Vallo di Diano.

High on the coast, the flysch is characterized by dense layers of rock that sometimes forms and colors like you can find at Ripe red or terrace marine Punta Licosa. The resulting landscapes are recognized for morphologies often sweet and the increased presence of Mediterranean trees.

Leaving the north-western territory of flysch, and also into the Parco Nazionale del Cilento and Vallo di Diano, the landscape changes: we are in the "kingdom" of limestone rocks, in the presence of massive carbonate of Alburni and Cervati . The landscape, shaped karst formations, dall'asprezza of certain sides marked by an intense tectonic; by large canyons carved by torrents perennially in full, shows a lunar appearance made bare by the "poverty" of the land, though, where the the conditions of soil and water permit, it is rich in Mediterranean and beech forests or grasslands to lavender. Characteristic of the geology of these rocks are karst forms, due to the dissolution of calcium carbonate, which produces "erosion and deposition with training, among other things, of stalactites and stalagmites. The resulting forms can be superficial (epigee) as the furrows of the fields roadway, the doline, and ighiottitoi or deep (hypogeum) such as caves, tunnels and caves, in the area of the park, many of which are still unexplored. The phenomenon is particularly encouraged Karst Mountains in Alburni with magnificent examples of cave Castelcivita nearly 5 km long, the cave accessible to Pertosa a stretch with zatteroni, and the grotto at St. dell'Auso Angelo a Fasanella. Karst forms of particular appeal are those that the river Bussento produced in the stretch in Caselle Pittari-Morigerati, with its long underground and even the deep gorges produced by the river Mingardo within distance of crossing the Mont Bulgheria. Deep cuts, which affect the "soft" white limestone, are those produced by Torrente Sammaro, from the river and the Heat Bussentino; their waters are often impetuous builders of waterfalls and rapids of rare natural spectacle.

The Candidacy of the park and archaeological site of Paestum and Velia for inclusion in the list of UNESCO World Heritage site takes a new look at international level and because it proposes a unitary and indivisible values and Environmental Culturali reality of the vast territorial one of the largest National Parks Italians, important in the Mediterranean, both because it was made on the proposal for more territorial and administrative Authority (Ente Parco Nazionale del Cilento and Vallo di Diano, Province of Salerno, City of Capaccio-Paestum, Ente Provinciale per Tourism, in agreement with the Archaeological Superintendence and BAAAS and below the high assurance Prefecture Salerno). This is in line with the directives of the International Convention like that especially since the choice of candidate, believes the involvement of organizations and people most directly involved in management and care of Good.

The Park of Cilento and Vallo di Diano, the combined result of Nature and of Man, falls into the category of evolutionary landscapes (Misti Beni), being the result of historical events, social, economic, artistic and spiritual, and reaching his "form" present in response to the association and its natural environment. It is now a living landscape, while maintaining an active role in contemporary society, preserves the traditional characters that have generated in the territory in the plot routes, in the structure of crops and the system of settlements. As species in the natural geographic environments, so the different peoples have found in these places, the contact point, the crossings and mergers, the enrichment of genetic heritage. Cilento is realized in the encounter between sea and mountains, and East Atlantic, northern culture and African cultures. The territory melts peoples and civilizations and keep tracks clear in its distinctive character: The Nature, Cultural Heritage, Archeological, Architecture, the Spatial imbued with medieval elements, the world live defeats. Place at the heart of the Mediterranean it is the park for excellence because this sea is one that embodies the spirit deeper, rich in biodiversity, the intermingling environment, the history of the synthesis of various nations and civilizations.
