The ancient settlement of Pontecagnano is located on the plain of the Sele river, about 4 km from the sea. Settlement begins in the Chalcolithic period. The Early Iron Age sees the arrival of people identified as Villanovans who originated in South Etruria, initiating a proto-urban phase of the settlement covering some 80 ha.
