I PARCHI LETTERARI® IN CALABRIA “JOURNEYS TO THE FUTURE OF MEMORY” - I PARCHI LETTERARI IN SILA: SMALL SILA


Small Sila makes up the southern portion of Sila’s Plateau. This is a suggestive area that is located in one of the area’s most uncontaminated river valleys, with the Soleo Torrent, the Tacina River and the Crocchio, featuring large pastures and luxuriant vegetation.

The splendid coasts of Catanzaro’s Ionian Sea, home to the legendary “gardens of Hesperides”, which were included in the myth’s ancient geography and later celebrated by foreign travellers and writers such as the Englishman George R. Gissing (1897), contiguously wind along the vast and wooded areas featuring extraordinary environmental interest and fauna, and moreover are full of a variety of archaeological and historic-artistic importance.
