More on Reggio Calabria
Description from Wikipedia:
Reggio di Calabria (Italian pronunciation: IPA: //ˈrɛʤ:o ˌdikaˈlabrja//; Calabrian dialect: Rìggiu, Greek-Calabrian: Righi, Greek: - Rhegion), commonly known as Reggio Calabria or Reggio, is a city located in southern Italy and the capital of the Province of Reggio Calabria. It is the largest and oldest city in the region and is the second oldest city in Italy overall. It is the third economic center of mainland Southern Italy and is well known as a port and university city, as well as the "city of Bronzes", for the Riace Bronzes which are testimonials of its Greek origins; the "city of Bergamot", which is exclusively cultivated in the region; as well as the "city of Fatamorgana", an optical phenomenon visible only from the Reggio seaside in Italy. The city has a population of 185,577 spread over 236 km², while the fast-growing urban area numbers 260,000 inhabitants. Another 351,762 people live in the metropolitan area (the 10th metropolitan city of the Italian nation).
When, in 1971, Catanzaro has been confirmed capital of Calabria, Reggio became the seat of the Regional Council
Founded in 720 BCE by the Ancient Greeks as Rhegion, meaning it breaks away, it was a well established settlement of Magna Graecia, later becoming a Roman ally and part of the Roman Republic, then metropolis and capital of the possessions of the Byzantine Empire in southern Italy. Reggio emerged as the capital of the Duchy of Calabria for a period until it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Sicily. It was then part of the Kingdom of Naples, later known as Two Sicilies, from 1282 to 1860, until the Italian unification.
