Calabria, located in the southernmost part of mainland Italy, is a region rich in history, dating back to ancient times. It was originally inhabited by the Oenotrians and later influenced by Greek colonists in the 8th century BC, becoming part of Magna Graecia. The Greeks founded important cities such as Reggio Calabria, Locri, and Crotone, which became cultural and economic centers.

The region later fell under Roman rule in the 3rd century BC. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Calabria was successively ruled by the Byzantines, Normans, Swabians, Angevins, and Aragonese, each leaving a significant mark on its culture, architecture, and traditions.

During the 19th century, Calabria played a role in the unification of Italy, with revolutionary movements supporting Garibaldi's campaign. However, poverty and economic difficulties led to mass emigration, particularly to North and South America.

Today, Calabria remains one of Italy’s most authentic regions, preserving its traditions, dialects, and culinary heritage.
