Sito storico
Altomonte and the tradition of oil mills and grain mills
Altomonte (CS)
A town in the Cosentino hinterland where the rural culture tied to olive oil and grain milling remains legible in the landscape and in the surviving historic structures.
Borgo
Badolato
Badolato (CZ)
Medieval borgo inland from Catanzaro overlooking the Ionian Sea, known for having welcomed immigrant communities in the 1990s in a repopulation experiment that made history. It preserves an ancient urban fabric and an authentic small-town life.
Prodotto tipico
Bivongi DOC
Bivongi (RC)
A little-known Calabrian wine made from native grape varieties on the hills between the Serre Calabresi and the Aspromonte slopes, in the area around Stilo. One of the region's most authentic and least explored wine territories.
Panorama
Calanchi Bianchi di Palizzi
Palizzi (RC)
White clay formations shaped by water into a lunar landscape at the heart of the Aspromonte, little known to the wider public. A walk through these badlands offers views of rare natural beauty.
Caldaie del Latte
Santo Stefano in Aspromonte (RC)
Natural white rock basins shaped by water in the Parco Nazionale dell'Aspromonte, where river erosion has created canyon-like, almost surreal scenery. A trekking destination away from mass tourist routes.
Cammino
Cammino Basiliano
Mammola (RC)
A walking itinerary retracing the places of Basilian monasticism in Calabria, touching rock-cut hermitages, cave churches and inland villages tied to the Greek-Orthodox tradition. A path weaving together spirituality, history and the Calabrian landscape.
