I feel like Salerno had all of what I enjoyed at my last two stays plus great sea views. Good food, neat places to explore, and fascinating history. I even learned that a cathedral I would pass daily and had even visited briefly, was where Matthew, the apostle, is supposedly buried. After learning this I went back and, for a euro, explored his catacomb.

The bodies of past Catholic saints are on display in various cathedrals. Saints bodies were/are? deemed incorruptible, though after centuries they are often encased in wax or silver. In at least one case just the skeleton remains in the case to view. At the Salerno Cathedral you can see Pope Gregory VII who died in 1085. His remains appear to have been encased in wax.
