Vittorio Veneto Square
The square of the station and the War Memorial
Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Sapri SA 84073
The opening of the Pisciotta–Praja section (July 30, 1894) integrated Sapri into national connections, changing the scale of tourist and commercial flows.
The square has benefited from renewal works connected to the station–square context (RFI coordination).
