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.
