Hillside church in the upper part of Baronissi, towards Saragnano, holding a fine statue of the Assumption by Nicola Fumo.

In the upper, western part of Baronissi, between the historic hamlets and the hill towards Saragnano, stands the Church of the Santissimo Salvatore. Its hillside position makes it a landmark for the surrounding hamlets, in a landscape that is still green behind the Irno valley.The treasure we like best is the statue of the Assumption carved by Nicola Fumo, an artist from Saragnano itself and one of the leading figures of Neapolitan wood sculpture in the 17th and 18th centuries. We suggest climbing up here at a leisurely pace, combining the visit with a stroll through Baronissi's hamlets.
