Pertosa – A record start to the year for tourism in the Vallo di Diano: the MIdA Foundation celebrates a first quarter of 2025 with a 30% increase in visitor flows compared to the same period in 2024.
Driving the success are the Caves of Perth-Auletta, an authentic karst jewel south of Salerno, flanked by the Foundation's museum offerings, ready to shine during the spring festivities.
The caves, which can be visited all year round thanks to their constant temperature and protection from the elements, are confirmed as an irresistible destination for Easter tourism and spring long weekends. And to encourage attendance, from 19 to 27 April a special initiative is coming: each ticket purchased will entitle you to a second free entry, valid for two months, a "pass" for those who wish to return to admire the underground spectacle.
But the news doesn't end there. Starting at the end of April, the area in front of the caves will host an open-air exhibition dedicated to the White Artichoke, a local delicacy, in conjunction with the festivals of Pertosa and Auletta. The exhibition will offer tastings, a free recipe book and a volume on the biodiversity of the garden, celebrating the food and wine tradition of the area.
There is also space for sustainability: on the occasion of Earth Day, the Museo del Suolo launches the “Decalogue of the sustainable picnic”, an invitation to families and visitors to respect the environment, sharing practical advice and photos on social media with the hashtag #custodidelsuolo.
A winning mix of nature, culture and green attention that consolidates the MIdA system as a tourist hub of excellence, ready to ride the wave of a season that already promises to be memorable.

The article is interesting but I noticed that some details are not clear. For example, it is not clear how the ticket initiative works. I hope there is more information on this topic.
