Roccagloriosa Excursion

Roccagloriosa Excursion

On this excursion to Roccagloriosa, we will visit a village located north of Monte Bulgheria, where it is said that the parents of comedian Totò met. We will meet at 5 pm on Via Borgo and depart from Pisciotta towards Cilento National Park, located between the gulfs of Salerno and Policastro.

The village of Roccagloriosa is situated on a hillside, surrounded by significant scenery, and to reach it, we will cross the northern part of Mount Bulgheria, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Participants will have the chance to view Mount Bulirla from the bus.

In Roccagloriosa, we will walk through the streets to see its most notable sites while learning about the history of the municipality. Historical documents trace its origins back to the 13th century, but an antique shop and the Civic Museum will reveal that the town is even older.

During the tour, we will observe several noble palaces and discuss Totò, one of the most prominent Italian comedians. It is rumored that he was born from the secret romance of his mother, Anna Clemente, and the Marquis De Curtis.

We will then visit the ruins of the castle of Roccagloriosa and explore some of its churches. We will conclude the excursion and return to Pisciotta, arriving back at the starting point by 9 pm.
