Nikola Kalinic thought his brace had given Hellas Verona the victory at the Stadio Arechi, but Cedric Gondo and Mamadou Coulibaly gave Salernitana their first point of the season.
The former Milan and Fiorentina striker found the net with his first shot on target of the campaign, tapping in the Gianluca Caprari assist.
His second goal was more impressive, dinking the lob over on-rushing Vid Belec, bouncing in off the underside of the bar.
Salernitana sparked their comeback through Gondo after a set play and Kalinic saw his potential hat-trick denied by the woodwork.
Coulibaly completed the turnaround by reacting quickly to a wayward Riccardo Gagliolo effort.
Verona almost won it anyway, Antonin Barak’s free kick thumping the bar.
