Nature and History in Reggio Calabria

Projected towards a mediterranean future, Reggio Calabria still preserves all the reassuring lukewarmness of the provincial small town and the attractive charm of the tourist place. The heart of the historical centre in the Corso Garibaldi, with lively squares and smart administrative offices, the magnificent

Theatre and the imposing Cathedral. Walking among boutiques and the liberty style buildings, which are typical of the IX century urban architecture is a pleasant way to know these three kilometres, in the heat of the economie and political city life. A few metres and we are in front of one of the most delightful scene of the world. Landscapes, vegetation, colours, the zagara and bergamot smell: the Mediterranean being of Reggio Calabria shows with a surprising variety of suggestions. The promenade is its perfect synthesis: an apotheosis of palms, ficus, very rare tropical and exotic species, a few metres away from the shore.

Campania

Campania is a region in southern Italy. The region has a population of around 5.8 million people, making it the second-most-populous region of Italy; its total area of 13,590 km2 (5,247 sq mi) makes it the most densely populated region in the country. Located on the Italian Peninsula, with the Mediterranean Sea to the west, it includes the small Phlegraean Islands and Capri for administration as part of the region.

Located on the Italian Peninsula, Campania was colonised by Ancient Greeks and was part of Magna Græcia. During the Roman era, the area maintained a Greco-Roman culture. The capital city of Campania is Naples. Campania is rich in culture, especially in regards to gastronomy, music, architecture, archeological and ancient sites such as Pompeii, Herculaneum, Paestum and Velia. The name of Campania itself is derived from Latin, as the Romans knew the region as Campania felix, which translates into English as "fertile countryside". The rich natural sights of Campania make it highly important in the tourism industry, especially along the Amalfi Coast, Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri.
