May is the month in which Salerno rediscovers its glorious medieval past with Fair of the Crucifix Retrovato. At the time of the international cattle fair (also mentioned in Pentamerone di Basile), today lives in the Old Town as a suggestive reenactment.
Between merchants, craftsmen and painters, the city recalls the legend of Mago Berliario and the power of the Crucifix, transforming the district of Carmine and the ancient heart into a living theater that attracts citizens and tourists on a journey back in time.
