| Area Information |
The Grand Hotel President, Thanks To Its
Particular Position Allows The Visitor To See
Places Of Historical Interest, Such As Byzantine
Stilo *43 Km*, Medieval Gerace *14 Km* And The
Archaeological Site Of Ancient Locri *5 Km* And
To Go On Interesting Naturalist Excursions Into
The Heart Of The Province Of Reggio.
Reggio Calabria Is About 110 Km So.
Stilo One Of The Most Fascinating Places And
Most Richly Steeped In History Of The Ionian Side
Of The Province Of Reggio, Is Situated On The
Slopes Of Mount Consolino, Along The Middle
Stretch Of The River Stilaro Valley.
Its Name In Greek Means Column, And Its Most
Ancient History Is Probably Bound To The Greek
Colony Caulonia That Was Situated On The Coast
Facing The Town, As The Numerous Finds From
Necropoli Testify Too.
Up To Halfway Through The Eighth Century Ad, It
Was Involved With The Presence Of Basilian Monks,
And In The Tenth Century Became One Of The Most
Important Byzantine Centers In Calabria.
The Home Town Of The Famous Philosopher Tommaso
Campanella, It Preserves Infinite Evidence To Its
Illustrious Past The Superb Cattolica, The
Norman Castle, The Medieval Towers, The Royal
Palace And Its Beautiful Churches.
Among The Most Important Iron And Metallurgical
Centres In Italy In The Period Between The
Seventeenth And Nineteenth Centuries, Due To The
Presence Of Large Iron And Copper Seams, In Stilo
The Craft Of Wrought Iron Work Still Flourishes
Along With Wood Carving And Weaving. Its Area Is
Renowned For The Production Of Excellent Wine,
Olive Oil, Citrus Fruits, Sheep, Goat And Cattle
Breeding.
The Typical Cuisine Is Rich And Tasty, With Its
Roots In The Most Genuine Calabrian Culinary
Tradition, And Is Typified By Decisive And Spicy
Flavors.
Locri Is One Of The Best-known And Most-studied
Of The Calabrian Greek Colonies. The Appellation
Epizefiri Refers To The Geographic Position Of
The First Settlement That, Founded Towards The
End Of The Eighth Century Bc, Was Actually
Situated In The Neighborhood Of Cape Zefirio,
Today Cape Bruzzano.
After Some Years, However, The Colonists Moved
North About 20 Km. To A Vast And Fertile Plain
Situated On The Side Of A Hill.
Here On The Foothills Of Aspromonte, And Parallel
To The Coastline, Stood The Definitive Site Of
The City, That Was Founded By Colonists Coming
From Locride Ozolia Or, According To Other
Sources, From Locride Opunzia.
A Short While After Its Foundation, Probably
Halfway Through The Seventh Century Bc, The
Legislator Zaleuco Gave Locri A Corpus Of Written
Laws That Is Europe*s Oldest Legislative Code.
On The Tyrrhenian Coast The Sub-colonies Of
Hipponion *nowadays Vibo Valentia* And Medma
*present-day Rosarno* Were Founded.
Locri Enjoyed Its Greatest Splendor Up To The
First Decades Of The Fifth Century, But Already
From The Fourth Century Bc, Once Entered The
Sphere Of Influence Of Syracuse, The City Began A
Steady And Irreversible Process Of Decline. In
205 Bc It Finally Became A Roman Municipium.
Locri Was Definitively Abandoned About The
Seventh Or Eighth Century Ad, When Its
Inhabitants Retired To Fortifications On The
Higher Land Of Nearby Gerace, To Protect
Themselves From Arab Incursions.
From The Second Half Of The Nineteenth Century,
The Latter Also Developed Along The Coast,
Creating An Outlying Ward That In 1934 Took The
Name Of Locri.
The Modern Town, Whose Tourist Vocation Has
Become More Accentuated In The Last Few Decades,
Today Is One Of The Most Active Industrial And
Commercial Centres Of The Province Of Reggio.
Gerace Is Situated In A Magnificent Panoramic
Position On A Crag At 479 M Asl. It Is One Of The
Most Interesting Places In The Province Of
Reggio, With A Rich Artistic And Cultural
Heritage.
The Town, Whose Territory Has Been
Uninterruptedly Settled Since Neolithic Times, As
Numerous Finds Testify, In The Greek Period Bound
Its History To That Of The Colony Of Locri.
Under Byzantine Rule Then, The Town, That Had
Assumed The Name Haghia Kyriak *st. Ciriaca*,
Acquired Notable Administrative And Religious
Importance.
However, Gerace Reached Its Greatest Splendor In
The Norman Era, After Being Conquered By Robert
