D’Ayala
house and park are very nice and were created as a holiday
resort. The park is made of Italian gardens and a wonderful
wood, decorated with statues and fountains. The sculptures
portray myths and allegories: Diana, Spring, Summer, Hercules,
the Painting, etc, and there is also an open theatre. During
the Second World War, the house was used as a camp hospital
and headquarters of German general, Kesserling. After the
American landing to Salerno, the house became a meeting place
for the allied troops.
