The distinctive shape of Italy resembles a boot and Calabria is found near the toe of that boot in a sunny, tourist-friendly location. The region's history is richly layered, with ruins and artefacts dating back as far as 600 BC. If you are interested in the ancient world, your first stop should be Reggio di Calabria, home of a fascinating pair of Greek statues known as the Bronzes of Riace. If your historical focus is the Middle Ages, you will find a number of castles, cathedrals and other buildings to explore. Mathematicians should know that Pythagoras once resided and taught here and fans of Greek myth will want to visit the legendary haunt of the sea monster Scylla.

ISBN: 1607744023

An authentic guide to the festive, mouthwatering sweets of Southern Italy, including regional specialties that are virtually unknown in the US, as well as variations on more popular desserts such as cannoli, biscotti, and gelato. As a follow-up to her acclaimed My Calabria, Rosetta Costantino collects 75 favorite desserts from her Southern Italian homeland, including the regions of Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Puglia, and Sicily. These areas have a history of rich traditions and tasty, beautiful desserts, many of them tied to holidays and festivals. For example, in the Cosenza region of Calabria, Christmas means plates piled with grispelle (warm fritters drizzled with local honey) and pitta 'mpigliata (pastries filled with walnuts, raisins, and cinnamon). For the feast of Carnevale, Southern Italians celebrate with bugie ("liars"), sweet fried dough dusted in powdered sugar, meant to tattle on those who sneak off with them by leaving a wispy trail of sugar. With fail-proof recipes and information on the desserts' cultural origins and context, Costantino illuminates the previously unexplored confectionary traditions of this enchanting region.

Vibo Valentia is the provincial capital city, which enjoys a geographical position of extraordinary attractive value with its port with a tourist and commercial vocation among the best equipped between Salerno and Reggio Calabria, with a harbor master's office which is among the largest in Italy; a city that has a rich ancient history, important memories, first of all needs to work on its vocations to grow and develop in harmony with the new social reality. For the landscape beauties and historical testimonies, Vibo Valentia is undoubtedly a city dedicated to tourism: cultural, archaeological, religious tourism that becomes a primary resource for our territory. The historic center of Vibo Valentia is a rich mix of churches, monuments and medieval, baroque and nineteenth-century buildings where it is difficult to distinguish where one era ends and where another begins and this is probably the characteristic in which its charm resides. In this perspective, the web-guide financed by the Calabria Region with POR funds 2007-2013, represents a modern and fast tool for getting historical-artistic-environmental news of our province that offers tourists the most beautiful coast of the region, a hill with landscapes breathtaking, a mountain that can offer tourists itineraries immersed in centuries-old woods, places of worship and ancient memories. An ideal place for a stay dedicated to art, culture and nature and taste. Maria Limardo (mayor)

Genre: Biography & Autobiography
ISBN: 1429966068

An effortlessly artful blend of travel book, memoir, and affectionate portrait of a people Calabria is the toe of the boot that is Italy—a rugged peninsula where grapevines and fig and olive trees cling to the mountainsides during the scorching summers while the sea crashes against the cliffs on both coasts. Calabria is also a seedbed of Italian American culture; in North America, more people of Italian heritage trace their roots to Calabria than to almost any other region in Italy. Mark Rotella's Stolen Figs is a marvelous evocation of Calabria and Calabrians, whose way of life is largely untouched by the commerce that has made Tuscany and Umbria into international tourist redoubts. A grandson of Calabrian immigrants, Rotella persuades his father to visit the region for the first time in thirty years; once there, he meets Giuseppe, a postcard photographer who becomes his guide to all things Calabrian. As they travel around the region, Giuseppe initiates Rotella—and the reader—into its secrets: how to make soppressata and 'nduja, where to find hidden chapels and grottoes, and, of course, how to steal a fig without actually committing a crime. Stolen Figs is a model travelogue—at once charming and wise, and full of the earthy and unpretentious sense of life that, now as ever, characterizes Calabria and its people.
