Santa Severina - Italy

Santa Severina (KR)

Calabria (Italy)

A small country between the coasts of the Ionian sea and the Sila, the Nave di Pietra (Ship of Stone), so renamed in studies done by Francesco De Luca.
Located on a rock, which once defended against invaders, now defends the wild and illegal construction, which characterizes our southern countries.
The economy is based mainly on the use public.
The territory, offering little room for agriculture, gives two possibilities: either to emigrate or obtain a degree, at the local High School, nearly half of young santaseverinesi compulsory, which was completed compulsory schooling, preferring in most cases the high school in ... a few meters from the house.
However, you begin to see new economic outlook.
The Castle, recently restored, is carrying a flow of tourists, nationally and internationally, especially in summer, which discovers the multiple and significant religious monuments in the existing site, but until now known only by connoisseurs of art.
Not only, therefore, the Castle, but the Byzantine Baptistery, the Cathedral, the church of Santa Filomena, the Square, here called "field", and the Diocesan Museum, are those elements that are becoming more economic driver of the small community.
