Vibonati
The town has developed over the ancient Lucan village known as Vibo ad Siccam. Like many centres of this area Vibonati fell under the domination of the Normans. Suffered during the barbarian invasions and was finally ruled for centuries by a succession of powerful feudal lords. This area was also one of the main battlegrounds of the Cilento insurrections of 1848. In 1860, the town received a very high profile guest: Giuseppe Garibaldi. The private residence of the De Nicolelis family still bears an inscription to celebrate his stay in their house. The municipality of Vibonati includes the maritime resort of Villammare, well known for its beaches and marine life ideal for scuba diving. The local landmark of Torre Petrosa was built by the Saracens. The town also offers the opportunity to see the historic Church of Sant'Agostino Abate, the elegant Palazzo Bello, the monumental fountain and the Convent dedicated to Saint Francis.
