Calabria was once part of the Greek Empire and was then colonised by the Romans, Byzantines, French and Spanish, finally becoming part of the Italian Republic in 1861.  Each invading population had a strong influence on the Calabrese culture and cuisine, and that is precisely makes the region so special and different.

Famous for having the most flavoursome and spicy food in Italy (everywhere you go you will see strings of dried red peppers hanging in shops), the area is also well known for seafood, lamb, capers, figs and olives, all of which influence the local cooking.  Calabria is also famous for its cheeses, almond, citrus and bergamot tress and pasta all’arrabbiata, roughly translated as angry pasta, due to the heat of the hot pepper-packed tomato sauce.

Like the food they love, the Calabrese people are fiery and warm, open and welcoming.  They will adore your children, welcome you into their homes and generally treat you like long lost friends.  Traditionally hospitable and eager to share the beauty of the region they live in, you will find yourself making friends quickly and easily – and you won’t want to leave!  Calabria may be one of Italy’s least famous regions, but the toe of Italy has played a large part in Italian culture.  The famous tarantella dance originated in Calabria, and famous Calabrians include the late fashion designer Gianni Versace, Charles Atlas (the original world’s strongest man) and Hollywood actor Nick Mancuso.
