Lungo la porzione più meridionale della fertile pianura del Sele, poco prima che si innalzino i contrafforti montuosi del Cilento, da circa 2600 anni il paesaggio del golfo di Salerno è accompagnato dal solenne profilo dei templi di Paestum, una delle più limpide testimonianze del periodo della Magna Grecia, ed uno dei siti archeologici più importanti dell’intera penisola italiana.
Gli scavi di Paestum sono noti per i loro maestosi templi dorici, sono tre, dedicati a Nettuno, Hera e Cecere ed è incredibile che siano ancora in piedi: meraviglie dell’antichità, che ancora oggi si presentano in un ottimo stato di
conservazione.

Non ho resistito alla fantasia più trendy di stagione, tornata alla ribalta direttamente dai mitici anni ’80, più contemporanea e graffiante che mai, mentre visito un sito affascinante e suggestivo, respirando aria di una secolare magia.
Most of the ancient ruins in Italy you see are, not surprisingly, Roman.
But in southern Italy is something different… and much older: Greek ruins.
The ancient ruins at Paestum are among the only Greek ruins left on Italy’s mainland, and they’re definitely the best-preserved.
(Many more wonderful remnants of ancient Greece can be found on the island of Sicily).
Plus, although you’re probably used to hearing all about men and male deities when it comes to the ancients, this site is a nice example of how that wasn’t exactly the case: All three of Paestum’s major temples were built in honor of female goddesses.
Paestum, also known by its original Greek name as Poseidonia, was a Greek colony founded in 600 B.C
Prospering as a trade center it was conquered first by the Lucanians and then, with the new Latin name of Paestum, the city became an important Roman colony in the 3rd century BCE.
Thanks to the discovery of the archaeological area in the first half of the ‘700’s Paestum attracted the attention of many experts and intellectuals. As a result, it became a popular choice among the tourist destinations of the XVIII and XIX centuries, favoring the development of the region, that today represents one of the most significant tourist destinations of the Magna Graecia, not just for its archaeological gems but also as a holiday resort.

Un posto veramente magnifico, spero di arrivarci un giorno a visitarlo perché tanta storia e grandezza non si possono ignorare. Adoro molto il tuo look, mi ricorda l'estate che ci ha appena lasciati, fino a qualche giorno fa qui a Milano faceva caldo e c'era il sole, adesso c'è la pioggia. Mi piace il modo in cui usi i tuoi elementi fashion preferiti, sempre di marchio famoso per completare e stravolgere gli outfit.
Baci,
Flo
