See the best accommodations Reggio di Calabria or Reggio in Southern Italy, is the biggest city and the most populated comune of Calabria, Southern Italy, is the capital of the Province of Reggio Calabria and is the seat of the Regional Council of Calabria.
Reggio is located on the toe of the Italian Peninsula and is separated from the island of Sicily by the Strait of Messina. It is situated on the slopes of the Aspromonte, a long, craggy mountain range that runs up through the center of the region. The third economic center of mainland Southern Italy, the city proper has a population of more than 185,000 inhabitants spread over 236 square kilometres (91 sq mi), while the fast-growing urban area numbers 260,000 inhabitants. About 560,000 people live in the metropolitan area, recognised in 2009 by Italian Republic as a metropolitan city.
As a major functional pole in the region, it has strong historical, cultural and economic ties with the city of Messina, which lies across the strait in Sicily, forming a metro city of less than 1 million people.
Reggio is the oldest city in the region, and despite its ancient foundation – Ρηγιον was an important and flourishing colony of Magna Graecia – it boasts a modern urban system, set up after the catastrophic earthquake on December 28, 1908, which destroyed most of the city. The region is subject to earthquakes and tsunami. It is a major economic center for regional services and transport on the southern shores of the Mediterranean.
Reggio, with Naples and Taranto, is home to one of the most important archaeological museums, the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Magna Græcia, dedicated to Ancient Greece (which houses the famous Bronzes of Riace, rare example of Greek bronze sculpture, which became one of the symbols of the city). Reggio is the seat, since 1907, of the Archeological Superintendence of Bruttium and Lucania. The city has two recently founded universities: the Mediterranea University, and the Università per Stranieri (University for Foreigners). There are also an Academy of Fine Arts (opened in 1967) and a Conservatory of Music (founded in 1927).
The city center, consisting primarily of Liberty buildings, has a linear development along the coast with parallel streets, and the promenade is dotted with rare magnolias and exotic palms. Reggio has commonly used popular nicknames: The city of Bronzes, for the Riace bronzes which are testimonials of its Greek origins; the city of bergamot, which is exclusively cultivated in the region; and the city of Fatamorgana, an optical phenomenon visible in Italy only from the Reggio seaside.
The city was one of the Italian candidates, to become the European Capital of Culture. in 2019.

Vetralla
Abitata dagli Etruschi e dai Romani subì, come altri paesi, molteplici invasioni e saccheggi, favoriti dalla vicinanza con la via Cassia.
Per questo, a ridosso del Medioevo, venne innalzata un'imponente cinta muraria, proprio con lo scopo di scoraggiare eventuali attacchi.
L'immane opera non spaventò però la potente Viterbo, che voleva a tutti i costi impadronirsi di una vasta distesa boschiva donata a Vetralla da Innocenzo III nel 1206. visitlazio.com
