History

First mentioned in 1309 with the name of Lanciusi, the village was an independent barony of the Principality of Sanseverino. [3]

Geography

Lancusi spans on a plain, named Irno Valley, west of the Picentini mountain range, near the springs of Irno river. The village is urbanistically contiguous, almost fused, with the village of Bolano; and other nearest settlements are Baronissi, Penta, Sava and Orignano. It spans on two parallel main roads: Via Tenente Nastri, representing the old town center, and Via del Centenario, the northern urban expansion. North of it is located the locality of Macchione. [4]

Part of the urban area of Salerno (11 km far), it is 2 km from Corticelle, 4 from Fisciano and the University of Salerno, 4.5 from Mercato San Severino and Gaiano, 6 from Calvanico and 30 from Avellino. The faculty of medicine of the university, located in the suburbs of Sava, lies just outside Bolano. [5]

Transport

The village is crossed by the RA 2 motorway Salerno-Avellino, and is served by the exit "Lancusi-Baronissi Nord". Fisciano railway station, part of Salerno-Mercato San Severino line, is located south of it, at the end of Via Nastri. [6]
