Viale Punto Piemonte, 93, Bisignano

Santa Sofia d'Epiro is an Arbëreshë village (an Albanian-language minority community) with preserved local Albanian cultural and religious traditions. The surroundings within about 15 km are inland hilly terrain with mixed woodland and small-scale agriculture (olive and other typical Mediterranean crops and pastures). There is no named national park or famous mountain range inside a 15 km radius. No ski lifts are present within the immediate area; the nearest ski facilities lie on the Sila plateau further inland. The nearest larger town is Corigliano-Rossano on the Ionian coast, which provides rail connections and wider services. The area is locally known for its Arbëreshë heritage and rural farming economy.
