The parish church of Maria Santissima di Portosalvo in Villammare di Vibonati, dedicated to the Madonna, protector of fishermen.

In the seaside hamlet of Villammare, in the municipality of Vibonati, the church of Maria Santissima di Portosalvo is one of the two parishes in the area, in the diocese of Teggiano-Policastro. It is dedicated to the Madonna venerated as protector of fishermen, and its name is also given to the main square of the village overlooking the Gulf of Policastro.We suggest coming for the August feast: in the morning the fishermen accompany an evocative procession at sea, while in the evening the statue is carried through the village streets by the fishermen themselves, taking turns, according to a centuries-old tradition. We love this blend of faith, sea and community.
