Calabria,
Italy
La
Terra del Sole - The Land of Sunshine
A region's gastronomy is
based on culture and microclimate, its cuisine on technique.
...and so we've chosen this setting bristling with pristine
beaches, citrus groves, vineyards, olive orchards, and medieval
hilltop towns and fishing villages as the perfect place to finely
tune culinary arts...

Welcome
to Calabria!
Uniquely positioned between three azure coastlines - the
Tyrrhenian, Ionian, and Mediterranean - Calabria is often
referred to as the real Italy. Located in the heart
of the Mediterranean Sea, sports enthusiasts and beachgoers
delight in the longest and whitest stretches of public beaches
in Europe as well as rich jagged mountain systems traversed
with rivers and lakes of enchanting beauty. The mountains
of Sila are among the tallest in Italy and their three national
parks make up more protected space than anywhere else in
the country. Historians and artists are in awe of Calabria's
cultural treasures and serenity - its Greek, Roman, Byzantine,
and Norman heritage, in outdoor and indoor museum settings
as well as living history villages. Gourmets discover Mediterranean
cuisine, from the source, and understand why it's become
the world's choice... |
