The Fish Fountain is a monument attributed to Luigi Vanvitelli and located in the Sedile del Campo square in the historic center of Salerno. One of the best-known monuments in the historic center of Salerno is the fountain in Largo Campo, of which there is some fragmentary historical information. The existence of a fountain in Largo Campo does not necessarily have to be identified with the current one. The first mention of its existence, in fact, is found in a document of the Church of Sant'Andrea de Lavina of 1639. In 1692 it is remembered by Pietro del Pezzo on the route of the first procession of the silver statue of Saint Matthew. According to these sources it should be dated at least to the early seventeenth century, however the set of elements that make it up today show a greater constructive articulation.

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.
