It stretches to a height of 600 meters from the sea and the coastal towns and overlooks the Gulf of Squillace and the Ionian Sea. The city is known for its strong winds and its notable silk industries that have been supplying brocades and silk to the domestic as well as the foreign markets. The city experiences a moderate Mediterranean climate with windy springs and autumns.

 

La Calabria

calabria image La Calabria è terra di antichissima civiltà mediterranea, ed è il luogo primigenio da cui deriva il nome dell'intera nostra penisola. Italia, infatti, fu da principio la Calabria in onore del suo re, Italo. Molte testimonianze vanno dalla preistoria agli insediamenti dei Bruzi, il popolo autoctono, fino alla grande epopea della Magna Grecia.

Calabria is a small underdeveloped region which forms the tip of the Italian peninsula. The population is small at only about 2,012,000 persons and the economy, though growing, is weak. The region is difficult to navigate through the mountains and because of this communication networks and adequate road and rail systems have been hard to establish.
