The Via dei Mercanti of Salerno is an ancient road that crosses the entire historic center of Salerno, representing the main communication and trade route since the Middle Ages. Around the year 1000, the Via dei Mercanti was called Drapparia, because it had shops of "drapes" (traded fabrics) of the Lombard principality of Salerno.

The church of the Santissimo Crocifisso is a Catholic place of worship in Salerno, located on via dei Mercanti, the main commercial street in the historic center of the city. The church dates back to before the thirteenth century and was originally called the "church of Santa Maria della Pietà di Portanova". It was annexed to the contiguous and homonymous monastery, not very far from the Cathedral; it was then associated with the more powerful monastery of San Benedetto. It owes its name to the fact that there was a venerated cross on a panel, painted in the thirteenth century, now kept in the diocesan museum. The church overlooks a small square, obtained from the demolition of dilapidated buildings in 1928, the year in which the Baroque-style facade was also built. Following the flood of 1956, the current facade was built.

Piazza Portanova is the access to the historic centre. The door, rebuilt in the eighteenth century, leads into the beautiful and scenic Piazza Flavio Gioia, known as the Rotonda due to the arched shape of the buildings that form the backdrop. In Roman times, villas and industrial establishments crowded the Portanova district, which today instead shows a marked commercial vocation. Piazza Portanova is in fact located between the beginning of via Mercanti and corso Vittorio Emanuele, the main shopping streets in Salerno. The square takes its name from the presence of a gate located at the beginning of via dei Mercanti, destroyed by a flood and then rebuilt "nova", to make way for Castel Terracena. The gate that until the 19th century closed the walls of the eastern border of the city is located on the side towards the sea, between Piazza Portanova and Piazza Flavio Gioia. It was built in 1754, to replace a previous one, by the master Ragozzino. At its top is a grandiose statue of St. Matthew, the patron saint and protector of the city, by the sculptor Francesco Pagano.
