Catanzaro, also known as the city of the two seas, is an Italian city of 91,000 inhabitants and the capital of the Calabria region and of its province. The archbishop's seat was the capital of the province of Calabria Ultra for over 200 years. It houses the University Magna Græcia, the second largest University of Calabria.
Catanzaro is an urban center, with much activity, including some coastal towns, such as Sellia Marina and Soverato, and the municipalities of Silas, with a total of 156,196 inhabitants. Catanzaro is being consolidated to form a greater metropolitan area, by the Region of Calabria, and in connection with the town of Lamezia Terme, comprising 10 municipalities. This will lead to the creation of an integrated area involving over 200,000 inhabitants.
During the summer months, the Ionian coast from Catanzaro to Soverato is an important tourist attraction, especially for the youth, and is in the presence of several important structures located in the coastal districts of the city and the town of Copanello Soverato.
Catanzaro is also known as city of the three V's, referring to the three distinct features of the city, namely San Vitaliano, the patron saint; velvet, as an important silk center since the time of the Byzantines; and wind (vento in Italian), constantly caused by the strong breezes from the Ionian Sea and Silas.
VVV was the symbol by which Catanzaro's silk industry was known, identified for both its domestic and foreign markets, and iconic for the finest fabrication of silks, velvets, damasks, and brocades from the city.

Catanzaro is also known as city of the three V's, referring to the three distinct features of the city, namely Saint Vitalian, the patron saint; velvet, because the city has been an important silk center since Byzantine times; and wind (vento in Italian), because of the strong breezes from the Ionian Sea and La Sila. VVV was the symbol by which Catanzaro's silk industry was known, identified for both its domestic and foreign markets, and iconic for the finest fabrication of silks, velvets, damasks, and brocades from the city.
Catanzaro overlooks the Gulf of Squillace, in the Ionian Sea. The district of Catanzaro stretches from the sea to an elevation of 600 metres (2,000 ft). The historic center is approximately 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level. The town dates back to the valley of Fiumarella (formerly known as River Zaro). The Bishopric, St. Tryphon (or San Rocco) and St. John (or castle) marks the city's historical center and is connected to the North Sila. Due to its particular geography, the municipality gets wet from the sea, and is still subjected to a snowy winter. Catanzaro's rivers include the main stream of the Fiumarella (in local dialect Hjiumareddha), which joins with the river Musofalo, and the torrent Corach (formerly called Crotalo).

Ricavato da una grotta naturale, il Santuario Madonna della Cornabusa fu costruito nel corso dei secoli a partire dal ’500.
Tra il 1350 e il 1440, la Valle Imagna era scossa dalla guerra tra Guelfi e Ghibellini. Per trovare scampo dalle violenze e dai saccheggi, gli abitanti di Cepino si ripararono in questa grotta ‘roccia buca’, denominata ‘corna busa’ nel dialetto bergamasco.
Oltre alle provviste necessarie al sostentamento ognuno di loro si era portato un oggetto caro. Una delle anziane portò con sé una statuetta lignea, un’effigie di Maria Vergine Addolorata.
I guerriglieri non trovarono mai queste persone che poterono dunque tornare alle loro abitazioni. La statuetta, però, rimase nella grotta.
La leggenda narra che, anni dopo, un anziano contadino del luogo entrò nella grotta e trovò la statuetta della Madonna. Sorpreso, lo considerò un presagio. La lasciò lì ma continuò con regolarità a tornare nella grotta, chiedendosi se tenere la scoperta per sé o rivelarla anche ai compaesani.
In seguito una giovinetta sordomuta, che pascolava le pecore, entrò nella grotta trovando a sua volta la statuetta. La ragazza corse a casa per raccontarlo a tutti: aveva riacquistato voce e udito. Si narra che questo miracolo sia stato compiuto proprio dalla Madonna. In breve la notizia della statuetta miracolosa si diffuse nella zona e nacque una viva devozione per la Madonna della Grotta.
Nel 1510 il vescovo di Bergamo concesse la licenza di celebrare la Santa Messa nella grotta. Da allora il Santuario è meta di pellegrinaggio di fedeli locali e turisti che vengono a pregare e a visitare la statuetta della Madonna.
Il 4 ottobre 1908 con solenni festeggiamenti alle ore 12 il cardinal Maffi incoronò il Taumaturgo Simulacro dell’Addolorata.
PROGRAMMAZIONE delle campane
