Via Luigi Settembrini, 18, Ferruzzano

The area lies on the southern Ionian side of the Aspromonte, with steep foothills and short valleys dropping toward the coast. The fiumara Bruzzano runs through the area to the Ionian Sea. Aspromonte National Park is inland to the west, with protected mountain terrain within this part of the province. The nearest town of some size is Locri on the Ionian coast, which has everyday services and rail connections; Reggio Calabria is farther away and matters more for higher-order services. This stretch of Calabria is known for bergamot in the wider Reggio area and for abandoned hill villages and fiumara landscapes along the lower Aspromonte.
