Angri sits in the heart of the Nocera-Sarno plain, where the San Marzano tomato built an industry: the town's canneries filled Italy's pantries — and its emigrants' — for a century, and the surrounding countryside remains one of Europe's most productive market gardens. The Doria castle, with its public park and turret, recalls the feudal family that long governed here.
Nearby, in 553, the battle of the Lactarian Mountains closed the Gothic War. The collegiate church of San Giovanni Battista and the confraternity churches dot the centre; Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast are ten minutes away.
