Santa Severina: Campetti asd polisportiva Siberene

Santa Severina has served as an episcopal centre in Calabria since the early Middle Ages. The town rises on a rocky spur above the Neto valley, in the inland hills between the Ionian coast and the Sila massif. Its compact historic core is dominated by the castle traditionally associated with Robert Guiscard, a Norman fortress later altered under Aragonese rule. Nearby stands the Byzantine Baptistery, generally dated to the 9th century and notable for its circular plan and dome. Narrow streets and stone houses give this hill town a distinctly layered southern Italian character.

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.
