Rosarno, Agricultural town in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
Rosarno stands on an elevated terrace with olive plantations and vineyards, bordering the Mesima River and overlooking the Gioia Tauro plain.
The region corresponds to the ancient Greek city of Medma from the 4th century BC, with artifacts displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Medma.
The Clock Tower in Piazza San Giovanni Bosco, constructed in 1812, and the Church of Purgatory with its 1649 bell mark the historic center.
The municipality spans 39.56 square kilometers at 60 meters elevation, with a population of 14,841 residents and direct access to the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway.
In 2012, Rosarno became the first Italian municipality to receive compensation as a civil party in a mafia trial.
