La Calabria è una “terra incognita” che si svela pian piano ai nostri occhi. L’Italia rivive nei ricordi dei tanti viaggiatori che ci hanno preceduto, fin dal Rinascimento. Non la Calabria, però. Non questa striscia di terra attraversata da una catena di montagne, accuratamente evitata da quei primi “turisti”. Gli scrittori, gli artisti, i giovani dell’aristocrazia europea che, in passato, intraprendevano il Grand Tour s’imbarcavano a Napoli per approdare direttamente in Sicilia. “Troppo lontana, inaccessibile, grande, impenetrabile”.

Lingue: Italiano e Inglese

Calabria is a “terra incognita” it took time to discover. The rest of Italy is described by the countless travellers who came before us, from as far back as the Renaissance. Not so the tip of the boot, with its mountain barrier that was avoided by early “tourists”: writers, artists and wealthy Europeans undertaking the famous Grand Tour would embark at Naples and alight in Sicily. “It was too far, too inaccessible, too vast, too impenetrable”.
