It is part of the National Park of the Cilento<\/strong>, Vallo di Diano and Alburni, in province of Salerno, Italy. For the sweetness of its sea and the liveliness of its Marina, Pioppi became one of the most desired seaside stations of the Cilento: it has been awarded the \u201cBlue Flag<\/strong>\u201d ever since this accreditation was founded, today it boasts another accreditation: that of the famous \u201cCinque Vele<\/strong>\u201d (Five Sails). Its limpid and clear sea does not know any kind of pollution; therefore its waters reflects the sky in the distance of its luxuriant hills of Mediterranean maqui carpeted with century old olive trees.<\/p>\n

Its coast was one of the \u201cvelini ports\u201d and was part of the territory of \u201cKora\u201d of Velia. It was also an important commercial seaport. In the first half of 1600 a chapel entitled to Santa Maria del Carmelo (Our Lady of Mount Carmel) was built on the seaside and became a center of great devotion. Until the end of the 70\u2019s of the last century, the village was known for the fishing of anchovies and sardines.<\/p>\n

At the end of the 50\u2019s, two important American researchers came to Pioppi: Ancel <\/strong>and Margaret Keys<\/strong>, from the University of Minneapolis (Minnesota). These \u201cMarco Polo\u201d of Medicine built a house there with a special garden and where they lived for a long period during the year (for almost forty years), carrying out their studies on human nutrition and on prevention of cardiovascular diseases<\/strong>. The Sea Museum and the Mediterranean Diet Museum are today open at Palazzo Vinciprova.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2100,2097,2099,2098″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1552557089308{margin-top: 100px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
