Calabria is located on the Southern most tip of the Italian peninsula.
As a crossroads between the East, Greece, Northern Africa and the rest of Italy and Europe, Calabria has been conquered by virtually every dynasty since the beginning of time and remains a land of abundant history.

Italy is divided into 21 regions. Torre di Ruggiero is in Calabria on the "tip of the toe", near Sicily

Calabria is the extreme southwestern region of Italy, washed by the Tyrrhenian Sea and the lonian. It is an essentially mountainous region, with a high central Apennine ridge, which crosses it lengthwise. The mountain slopes are overgrown with thick woods. The coastlines present landscapes of wild beauty.

Each region in Italy is divided into Provinces. In Calabria, there are 5 provinces shown on the map to the left. Torre is in the southern most part of Catanzaro, the capital province where the regional government is located.

The Calabrian territory is predominantly mountainous and hilly as illustrated in the pie chart above. Contrary to popular belief, however, southern Italy does not have an arid land area as illustrated by the brilliant green in the satellite photo to the left.

The landscape is mixed between the continuous mountainous and hilly parts that dive down almost above the sea, leaving some level lines in the zones where the rivers flow. Two grooves divide the Calabrian peninsula in three rich mountainous groups of green woods, pastures and spring waters.
