The village of Pisciotta retains its medieval structure. From above the Palazzo marchesale Pappacoda dominates the village, while all around the small stone houses are scattered among narrow and winding alleys. Worth noting is the parish church dedicated to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, which houses inside precious canvases dating back to the period of its construction in the 16th century. To the east of the town, in the area called "Pendino", a paved road, called La Chiusa, leads up to Marina di Pisciotta, a prominent seaside resort where the ancient anchovy fishing with Menaica is still practiced, elected to Slow Food Presidium and absolute protagonists of the Fish Festival held at the end of June. Among the beaches there is the sandy one of Pietracciaio, while towards Ascea and towards Palinuro, some beaches characterized by white pebbles stretch, including the beaches of Torraca, Gozzipuodi and Acquabianca. The latter so called because of the shallow and sandy seabed that makes the water crystal clear; others, south towards Palinuro, sandy, such as those of Ficaiola and Gabella, more than two kilometers of beach, sometimes free and sometimes equipped.
The Telegraph has collected the 21 destinations that no one would ever think of visiting, including Italians, and which instead deserve to be seen. At the top of the British newspaper ranking is Marina di Pisciotta, a village in the province of Salerno in Campania that has fewer than 3,000 inhabitants.
Pisciotta is part of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. The characteristic pastel colored houses are located in the alleys that wind through the whole country. Following an obligatory path, you come out in small squares where it is still possible to meet the local men who delight in playing cards or observing everything that happens around them. A place from another time, as perhaps there are many in Italy.
But Pisciotta is different. The village developed around the top of a low and steep hill overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, on whose sides two streams flow, the Fiori and the S. Macario.
The first hypotheses on the origins of Pisciotta are connected to the destruction of Troy. In 650 a. C. the Trojans, who escaped the fire and destruction of the city, landed on the Ionian shore, where they founded Siri. The inhabitants of Siri then advanced west, following the wide valley of the Sinni river, up to the lake and Mount Sirino (which they took their name from), in what is now Lagonegro. They then went to the Tyrrhenian Sea, on the beach of today's Gulf of Policastro. This is where they founded the Pixous colony. In 194 a. C. the Greek Pixous became the Roman Buxentum and in 915 Pisciotta was born.
In just 4 kilometers it contains many of the elements that make Cilento unique: in addition to the crystal clear sea of Marina di Pisciotta, an uncontaminated hinterland, history and traditions. Seen from the sea, Pisciotta emerges among the olive trees, is guarded by other hills to the right and is missing and overlooks a small gulf. The pretty medieval village is the one that has been best preserved in the whole Cilento. The noble palaces and the mother church are defended from all the other ancient stone buildings.
The best starting point to visit the village is the large Raffaele Pinto square, still the cultural and social center of the village. Going up the stairs you arrive at the first panoramic point, the Piazzetta del Cannone: a small suspended terrace opens the view on the roofs of the houses and on the hills that line the Fiore river. Continuing you are at the foot of the eighteenth-century marquis palace, built by the Pappacoda family, feudal lords of the town. Of considerable architectural interest are the portal and the imposing sandstone staircase, as well as the round arches and the facade. The building, which houses the municipal library, directly overlooks the expanse of ancient olive trees that slope down towards the sea to the small tourist port.
Further on you can admire another noble palace, the Palazzo Francia, overlooking a square very dear to the Pisciottans because it is dedicated to a benefactor doctor, Michelangelo Pagano. Going down Via Pendino, you will discover the remains of the ancient Romanesque church of the 1200s and the tiny Cappella della Mercede, dear to fishermen who thanked the Virgin for returning from fishing. Near the chapel is the Bishop's Palace of Lancellotti, and, slightly further down, the Palazzo Ciaccio. In short, this village offers an interesting excursion in the Middle Ages. But few - foreigners and even Italians - know it.
