Unione dei comuni delle Valli joniche dei Peloritani, Municipality union in eastern Sicily, Italy.
The Unione dei comuni delle Valli joniche dei Peloritani is an association of 11 municipalities along the Ionian coast in eastern Sicily. These towns spread across a mountain region and work together on shared administrative duties and development initiatives.
The association was established in 2004 with 18 municipalities as founding members. Over the following decade, seven of these communities withdrew from the union, leaving the current membership of 11.
The union supports events that keep local traditions and artisanal practices alive across its communities. Visitors encounter regional festivals and markets throughout the coastal towns where residents celebrate their customs and ways of life.
The main administrative office is located in Sant'Alessio Siculo, with Roccalumera serving as the lead municipality overseeing the union. Visitors seeking information about shared services or projects can contact the headquarters there.
Several member municipalities like Savoca and Forza d'Agrò are known as filming locations for acclaimed films and attract cinema enthusiasts. This connection to cinema is woven into the identity of these coastal towns.
