Assuming that enhancing knowledge on specific areas can “create added value”, by promoting changes and innovation, the paper aims at in-depth study the historic centre of the city of Salerno, for its exceptional diversity of cultural heritage from the Estruscan, Suevian, Angevin and Aragonese civilizations.
Over the last ten years, several operational interventions have been undertaken in the Salerno’s historic centre, as its importance as touristic destination rose. Thus, the aim of the paper is to provide a cartographic reading of the cited context, in order to identify within the territorial perimeter, both the use of vertical (timeline and typology of historical and cultural evidences) and horizontal (touristic paths) themes.
Through numerous surveys and the aid of the Superintendency Archeology, Fine arts and Landscape for the provinces of Salerno and Avellino a census of the cultural goods has been conducted, together with the cartographic identification of those goods on a large scale. This allowed a preliminary use in a perspective of valorisation.
