Civita

Civita (CS), one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and deserving of the 'orange flag' recognition, is a characteristic municipality in the province of Cosenza that still preserves the ancient testimonies of the arbëreshë (i.e. Albanian-Byzantine) culture belonging to the historic Byzantine communities that arrived in the Calabrian hinterland to find refuge from the Turkish invasions between the 15th and 18th centuries. The meaning of the name of this small village is lost between history and suggestion: some claim that the word 'Civita' derives from 'çifti', which in the Albanian language means 'couple' (in reference to the couple of its main districts Sant'Antonio and Magazeno) others, instead, believe it derives from the Latin civitas (city), while others still have no doubts: the name of the city would derive from 'qifti', meaning 'eagle', a perfect name for a very ancient centre built on high rocks, nestled in the wild Raganello reserve, looking out over the Ionian Sea like an eagle in flight.

Corigliano - Rossano

In Calabria, in the Alto Ionio Cosentino, there is a stretch of coastline, with an evocative name, that was chosen by the Greeks centuries ago as a landing place: it is the Costa degli Achei, an area that stretches for about 150 kilometres along the Piana di Sibari and overlooks the Ionian Sea. Here, white sandy beaches form a backdrop to ancient medieval castles, and small villages with intricate streets alternate with sheer cliffs overlooking the sea. Among the towns and villages enclosed in this area is Corigliano-Rossano (CS), a municipality established on 31 March 2018 from the merger of Corigliano Calabro and Rossano, a place rich in history and culture to be discovered in all its angles and facets.
