Salerno -Silk Overlooking a magnificent bay that was a favourite vacation spot of the ancient Romans, Salerno became, in the dark ages of the barbarian invasions, the port of the Longobard duchy of Benevento, later transforming itself into an independent principality, and finally rising, under the rule of the Norman Robert Guiscard, to the rank of the first capital of a unified southern Italy.
