A brief explanation of the patronage of 'MARY OF THE SNOW', which visitors don't encounter very often: This takes us far back in church history to the fourth/fifth century, and geographically to Rome. On August 5, 363, the so-called "miracle of the snow" occurred at the site where the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore now stands. That is to say, on that day, in the middle of summer, snow lay there in the morning because the Virgin Mary wished to have a church dedicated to her built on that spot. She conveyed this wish in a vision to a wealthy couple – who subsequently initiated and financed the construction – and to the Bishop of Rome, who at that time was Pope Liberius. The Roman church holds the rank of a patriarchal basilica (papal basilica) and is the origin of all churches and chapels with this patronage. In the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, August 5th, the feast day of the church's consecration (in the year 432 by Pope Sixtus III), is an optional memorial. Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome was the focus of international attention last year because Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday 2025, had chosen this church as his final resting place.

A must-see stop for those cycling along the coastal road

Scario is a small village that still retains its maritime character. The small harbor still houses many fishing boats and small vessels. Its secluded location makes it a quieter place than nearby Sapri and Policastro Bussentino.

Here in Montano Antilia, a centuries-old vine peeks out from the window of a winery. Stop to admire its decades of work, and take the opportunity to enjoy the view from here.

Situated in a panoramic position among the Cilento hills, the former convent of Cuccaro Vetere is a place steeped in history and tranquility. Founded in the Middle Ages, it was a religious and cultural hub for the local community for centuries. Today, amidst ancient walls and views stretching to the sea, it offers an atmosphere of peace and serenity, ideal for a brief stop or a moment of contemplation along the way.

The water from this fountain is delicious, truly light and fresh. It's perfect for stocking up before climbing Cervati, or on the way back.
