Calabria Mediterranea
Calabria is the toe of the boot, the extreme south of Italy, lapped by the splendid crystal blue Mediterranean Sea, flanked by rugged mountains and separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina. Rich in history and culture, Calabria is the cradle of Magna Graecia, the name given by the Romans to the Greek colonies of Southern Italy.

25 April - Anniversary of Italy's Liberation
25 April also known as the Anniversary of Italy's Liberation is a national holiday in Italy that commemorates the victory of the Italian resistance movement against Nazi Germany and the Italian Social Republic, puppet state of the Nazis and rump state of the fascists, culmination of the liberation of Italy from German occupation and of the Italian civil war in the latter phase of World War II. That is distinct from Republic Day (Festa della Repubblica), which takes place on 2 June and commemorates the 1946 Italian institutional referendum.
Every year on 25 April Italy celebrates Liberation Day, known in Italian as Festa della Liberazione, with a national public holiday.
In addition to the closure of schools, public offices and most shops, the day is marked with parades across the country, organised by ANPI, Italy's partisan association which preserves the memory of the Resistance movement against Fascism.
The occasion is held in commemoration of the end of the Fascist regime and of the Nazi occupation during world war two, as well as the victory of Italy's Resistance movement of partisans who opposed the regime.
Formed in 1943, the partigiani comprised a network of anti-Fascist activists, from diverse backgrounds including workers, farmers, students and intellectuals, across Italy.
Resistance
Together they united in armed resistance against the Nazi occupation and the Fascist regime, making their struggle both a war of liberation and a civil war.
The annual event marks the day in 1945 when a nationwide radio broadcast calling for a popular uprising and general strike against the Nazi occupation and Fascist regime was announced by the National Liberation Committee of Upper Italy (CLNAI), a political umbrella organisation representing the Italian Resistance movement.
This announcement - made by partisan and future president of Italy Sandro Pertini - resulted in the capture and death of Fascist leader Benito Mussolini, who was shot three days later.
The Festa della Liberazione represents a significant turning point in Italy's history, paving the way for the referendum of 2 June 1946 when Italians voted in favour of a republic and against the monarchy which had been discredited during the war and whose members went into exile.
Scurati controversy
This year's event takes place against the backdrop of a political controversy after the state broadcaster RAI stopped a well-known Italian writer from delivering an anti-fascist monologue on television a few days before the Festa della Liberazione.
Antonio Scurati accused RAI of censorship after his monologue was dropped abruptly from the Saturday night talkshow Chesarà for "editorial reasons".
The writer claimed that the move highlighted the alleged attempts by premier Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government to exert its influence over the state broadcaster which has seen several veteran presenters leave over the last year including Fabio Fazio, Bianca Berlinguer and Amadeus.
In his speech Scurati criticised the "ruling post-Fascist party" for wanting to "re-write history" rather than "repudiate its neo-fascist past".
RAI director Paolo Corsini rejected any talk of censorship, as did Meloni who responded to the controversy by posting Scurati's text on her Facebook page, stating that the broadcaster had "simply refused to pay 1800 euro (the monthly salary of many employees) for a minute of monologue".
Meloni added that the Italian people "can freely judge" the contents of the text which was later read live on air by Chesarà presenter Serena Bortone in an act of solidarity with Scurati.

Santa Severina, Calabria, Italy
Santa Severina is a hilltop town perched on a cliff overlooking the Neto River Valley.
The town's strategic hilltop location made it an important fortress and trading post during different periods. Over the centuries, Santa Severina developed into a charming medieval town, preserving its historical character and traditions.
The heart of Santa Severina is its historical centre, characterized by narrow cobbled streets, ancient buildings, and charming squares. Visitors can take leisurely walks through the town's alleys and admire its medieval charm.
The Santa Severina Baptistery is one of few structures of its kind in southern Italy. Dating back to the Byzantine period of the tenth century.
Slightly hidden from view and just around the corner from the cathedral's impressive facade, it has its own separate entrance.

Amantea, Calabria, Italy
Amantea is a charming coastal town situated along the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria.
The village of ‘Amantea Vecchia’ (old Amantea) is a serene spot to spend a few hours on the hillside – another example of Calabria’s undiscovered gems.
The city's name "Amantea" is of Arabic origin, coming from "Al Mantiah", meaning "strong hold." The Arab presence here, has been strong and lasting (even if not constant).
