Carlo Levi delivered it to world literature with a title — "Christ Stopped at Eboli" — that everyone here knows and gladly overturns: Eboli is not civilisation's edge but the balcony of the Sele plain, its medieval centre climbing toward the Colonna castle and the collegiate church of Santa Maria della Pietà.
The archaeological museum of the middle Sele valley documents roots older than the Romans. Around, buffaloes and greenhouses: this is the farming capital of the Salerno area, with zero-kilometre buffalo mozzarella and Paestum ten minutes away.
