Museum of the Landing and Salerno Capital

This museum tells the gripping story of Operation Avalanche, the 1943 Allied landing on Salerno's shores that turned the city into the temporary capital of liberated Italy. Housed in the historic Gallotta Institute on General Mark Clark Street, it's one of the few places in the world dedicated entirely to this pivotal WWII chapter. If you care about wartime history, this one genuinely delivers — artifacts, maps, and firsthand accounts that put you right in the middle of the moment.
