Cotronei
Cut Into The Hillside In The Wide Neta Valley,
Cotronei Is One Of The Most Important Tourist
Resorts In The Province Of Crotone.
Its Foundation Appears To Be Attributable To The
Kroton Colonists, Who Created A Defensive Outpost
Here.
Some Finds Dating Back To The Bronze Age Lead To
The Belief That Before Greek Colonization The
Cotronei Territory Was An Important Transit Point
For The People Of The Area.
Incised Drawings Found In Some Grottoes Showing
Greek Crosses And Doves, Testify To The Presence,
In Byzantine Times, Of Greek Anchorites, Monks
Who Lived In Solitude, Devoting Their Time To
Prayer And Fasting.
In 1219 King Frederick Ii Of Swabia Consigned The
Town To The Florensian Monks Of S. Giovanni In
Fiore, While Later, It Passed To The Monastery Of
The Three Young Men Of Caccuri.
From The Thirteenth Century On Cotronei Underwent
Alternating Fortune.
First It Became A Feud Of The Ruffo Family, Then
Of The Morano Barons, Finally, In 1711 Passing To
The Filomarino Family.
At The Beginning Of The Nineteenth Century The
Surrounding Woods Became The Lair Of Brigands And
In Order To Subdue Them, The Town Was Burnt Down
Several Times By The Italian Light Infantrymen.
The Historic Center, Typified By Narrow Lanes,
Ancient Arches And Small Craft Shops,
Specializing In Worked Iron And Wicker Baskets,
Preserves The Church Of St. Nicholas And The
Morano-filomarino-verga Mansion.
Nowadays A Flourishing Farming And Commercial
Center, Cotronei, Thanks To The Creation Of
Hydro-electric Plants Built At The Beginning Of
The Twentieth Century, Has Become A Place Of
Prime Importance In The Energy Production Sector.
The Farm Produce And The Cookery Is Excellent.
In Fact, Its Production Of Olive Oil, Mushrooms
And Dried Figs Is Renowned Throughout Calabria.
The Hotel Is Located About 19 Km From Santa
Severina.
On A High Tufaceous Outcrop, Dominating The River
Neto Valley, Stands Santa Severina, An Important
Inland Farming Center In The Province Of Crotone.
The Town, Once The Ancient Siberene, Boasts Very
Remote Origins.
Santa Severina Was A Religious Center And An
Important Greek Orthodox See, But Was Conquered
By The Normans Led By Roger The Guiscard In 1073
And Passed Successively Under The Rule Of The
Swabians, Angevins And Aragonese.
The Feud Of Various Noble Families Until 1806,
The Year In Which Feudalism Was Abolished By
Napoleonic Decree, Santa Severina Still Preserves
