The bridge linking Roscigno to Sacco in the territory of the latter crosses the Sammaro, exactly above the spring.

The ancients venerated it as a water divinity and represented it with a prolific white beard and, in their hands, a vase where precious water was flowing.

With its 37 kilometres, it is among Cilento main watercourses, of which it is particularly rich. It rises from the slopes of mount Cervati, 900 metres of altitude from the spring of Varco La Pela in the municipality of Sanza.

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.

Part of mount Paflagone, spur of Mount Cervialto, in Irpinia, the Sele with its 64 kilometres continues its way southwards, receiving in the territory of Contursi Terme its main tributary: the Tanagro.

In the heart of Cilento National Park, Le Corne starts in the municipality of Sitio and continues for 36 kilometres until the Tyrrhenian Sea.
