Grimaldi: Roquebrune-Cap-Martin
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is best known on the French Riviera for its medieval hilltop village. Set between Monaco and Menton, the commune descends from its elevated historic core to the Mediterranean shore, where bays, villas, roads and rail lines follow a densely settled coast. The Château de Roquebrune, built in the 10th century, crowns the old village and ranks among France’s oldest feudal castles. Below, Cap Martin projects into the sea; its pine-covered slopes are crossed by the Sentier du Littoral coastal path. The meeting of stone lanes in the hills, Mediterranean vegetation and the built-up Riviera shoreline gives this part of Alpes-Maritimes its distinctive character.

Grimaldi occupies a hill above the Savuto valley in Calabria, in the inland part of the province of Cosenza. The Savuto River descends from the Sila uplands towards the Tyrrhenian coast, shaping a landscape of wooded slopes, small farms and scattered hill settlements. Grimaldi belongs to the area covered by the Savuto DOC, a Calabrian wine designation centred on local red wines. Its position places it between the mountains of central Calabria and the coast, away from the region’s larger urban centres.

Calabria stretches from the Tyrrhenian coast to the Ionian shore, encompassing the rugged southern Apennines and long Mediterranean beaches. At Italy’s southern tip, the region is separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina, while the wooded Sila plateau and Aspromonte massif give its interior a markedly different character from the coast. Ancient Greek colonies once flourished here, and the Riace Bronzes—two celebrated fifth-century BC Greek statues—are displayed at the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria. Bergamot cultivation around Reggio Calabria and spicy ’nduja from Spilinga are enduring local signatures. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Calabria.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
