Spezzano della Sila: Via Roma
The landscape around Spezzano della Sila is defined by the wooded uplands of the Sila Plateau, which have shaped both the built environment and local life. Via Roma forms part of the settlement’s compact centre, where multi-storey houses with balconies and ground-floor businesses line a broad paved street. The surrounding Sila is a highland area of Calabria known for forests and for the Patata della Sila PGI, a protected-origin potato associated with the plateau’s farming tradition. Spezzano della Sila became part of the municipality of Casali del Manco in 2017, bringing several former communities under one administration. Its streets provide an urban counterpoint to the rural character of Sila National Park.

Spezzano della Sila lies on the western slopes of Calabria’s Sila Plateau, a highland of forests, reservoirs and broad mountain pastures within Sila National Park. The former municipality became part of Casali del Manco in 2017, while its territory still includes the well-known upland resort of Camigliatello Silano. Lake Cecita, a major reservoir on the plateau, is nearby, and the historic narrow-gauge railway at Camigliatello recalls the rail links that connected these interior mountains with Cosenza.

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.
