Six municipalities in the Salerno area are attempting to rethink the future of schools in their inland and mountainous areas, focusing on merging schools as a way to strengthen the curriculum and ensure educational continuity. The proposal emerged during a meeting between the mayors of the Union of Municipalities of the Fasanella Valley, which includes Aquara, Bellosguardo, Corleto Monforte, Ottati, Sant'Angelo a Fasanella, and Castelcivita.
The initiative was initiated by the municipal administration of Sant'Angelo a Fasanella and is part of the regional guidelines on school sizing and the organization of the education network. At the heart of the discussion was the need to adapt the school system to the demographic and geographical characteristics of the area, avoiding the progressive weakening of schools in inland areas.
The proposed proposal calls for the Campania Region to merge the schools of Aquara, Castelcivita, Corleto Monforte, and Sant'Angelo a Fasanella into the Castel San Lorenzo Comprehensive Institute, starting in the 2026/2027 school year. This decision, according to the proponents, reflects a coherent territorial logic, since the affected municipalities are within the Calore and Alburni Valleys, the same area as other centers already affiliated with the same institute.
The meeting also revealed a shared appreciation of the importance of the initiative. The merger is described as "a first concrete step toward strengthening school autonomy in mountain areas," with the goal of protecting the right to education and strengthening the presence of schools in small municipalities. The proposal has already received positive feedback from the participating schools and is now before the Region for its assessment.
The search for the 66-year-old man who disappeared yesterday afternoon from Castelcivita, in the Salerno area, ended in tragic fashion. His body was found this morning around 7:30 a.m. in the ford of the Calore River, where it was located by firefighters working alongside the local Carabinieri station.
The man had left a local nursing home yesterday afternoon without returning. His family, concerned about his failure to return, raised the alarm and also launched a public appeal for assistance in the search. Rescue teams scoured the area throughout the evening and into the night, until they found his body in the river.
Behind a seemingly ordinary TikTok profile, a jihadist propaganda network was hiding. A 33-year-old man of Tunisian origins and a resident of Sicignano degli Alburni, in the Salerno area, was arrested and placed under house arrest with an electronic bracelet on charges of incitement to crime and advocating terrorism.
Investigators discovered over two hundred videos posted by the man on social media, in which he extolled the Jihad Islam, the Islamic State, and its leaders. Bloody images, hate speech against Christians and "infidels," and messages calling for the sacrifice of so-called martyrs. The content, shared hundreds of times, had garnered thousands of views, fueling a steady stream of extremist propaganda.

It's important that municipalities are working to strengthen schools in inland areas, but I hope there will be no problems with merging. Schools are essential for young people and must be well-organized.
