Melito di Porto Salvo, Coastal municipality in Calabria, Italy
Melito di Porto Salvo extends along the Riviera dei Gelsomini, with hills descending toward the Ionian Sea at an elevation of 28 meters.
The landing of Giuseppe Garibaldi and his troops on Rumbolo Beach in August 1860 marked a crucial phase in the unification campaign of Italy.
The municipality belongs to the Bovesia region where Greek linguistic influences remain visible in local traditions and daily communication patterns.
Located 25 kilometers southeast of Reggio Calabria, the town maintains seven accommodation facilities and connects to surrounding areas through coastal roads.
The territory includes Pentedattilo, a restored mountain settlement where artists and shepherds now inhabit the ancient stone structures.
