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.
