Apart from its Lucanian origin, Tanagro is the river of Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park, because it flows into it for most of its 92 meters course.
It rises from mont Gelbison and flows through the territory of Cilento for 22 kilometres until flowing into the sea close to Capo Palinuro.
In its name, the word “river” is included. This torrent is the main right tributary of the Mingardo. It rises from Mount Antilia and flows for ten kilometres in the province of Salerno.
It springs from the confluence of the streams Platano and Melandro. Then it flows in a context of great environmental value between spectacular canyons.
In the heart of Cilento National Park, Le Corne starts in the municipality of Sitio and continues for 36 kilometres until the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Calore river is the son of Cilento entirely, which must be accompanied by the adjectives "Lucanian" or "Salernitan", to distinguish it from the northernmost homonym that flows between Irpinia and Sannio.
For the ancients it was the Stygian lake, which Virgil mentions in the Aeneid, telling about Palinuro’s death.
