Calabria Italy

Calabria is a region located in the southern part of Italy. The capital of Calabria is Catanzaro. The Regional Council of Calabria is situated in the Palazzo Campanella in the city of Reggio Calabria. The region is bordered on the north by the Basilicata Region, on the west by the Tyrrhenian Sea, and on the east by the Ionian Sea. The Strait of Messina separates it from the island of Sicily. The region spans 15,080 km2 (5,822 sq mi) and has a population of just under 2 million. The term for a person from Calabria is calabrese in Italian and Calabrian in English. Historically, the name Calabria was used to refer to the heel tip of Italy, from Tarentum southwards, a region now known as Salento, rather than the toe of Italy as it is in modern times.
