Province of Catanzaro

The province spans from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Ionian Sea across the Calabrian peninsula, with mountains, valleys, and coastal areas covering 5,200 square kilometers.

The territory became a formal Italian province in 1927, incorporating numerous settlements that had been under Byzantine control since the 10th century.

Local municipalities preserve traditional silk production methods through silkworm breeding and mulberry cultivation, particularly in San Floro, Girifalco, and Cortale communities.

The province contains 80 municipalities with Lamezia Terme International Airport serving as the main transportation hub, connecting to major Italian cities.

The province includes the Catanzaro isthmus, a 30-kilometer valley that forms the narrowest section of the Italian peninsula between two gulfs.
