Autostrada A2, otherwise known as the Autostrada del Mediterraneo ("Mediterranean Motorway") or Salerno–Reggio Calabria, is an autostrada (Italian for "motorway") 432 kilometres (268 mi) long in southern Italy. Running between the towns of Fisciano, in the Province of Salerno, and Villa San Giovanni, in the Province of Reggio Calabria, the motorway forms part of European roads E45, E841 and E90.

History

The A2 was created in 2017 by merging the Fisciano to Salerno section of the spur route RA 2 (part of European route E841) with the Salerno to Villa San Giovanni section of the A3 motorway (part of E45). The spur route to Reggio Calabria is part of E90. At the same time, an advertising campaign for tourism purposes was launched, with ten cultural routes^[2] and an advertising spot starring Giancarlo Giannini.

Route

The motorway starts in Fisciano, in Campania region, where there is a junction between the RA2 and the A30 motorway.

The provincial capital cities served by the A2 motorway are:

• Salerno;
• Potenza, which is accessible from Sicignano junction through RA5;
• Cosenza;
• Catanzaro, which is accessible from Lamezia Terme junction through SS280;
• Vibo Valentia;
• Reggio Calabria.
