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.
The bridge linking Roscigno to Sacco in the territory of the latter crosses the Sammaro, exactly above the spring.
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.
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.
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 rises from mont Gelbison and flows through the territory of Cilento for 22 kilometres until flowing into the sea close to Capo Palinuro.
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.
