Every year, the second Sunday of May, is celebrated the patron of the country, Saint Atanasio "the Great".
Saturday, May 17, the Group "Miromagnum" has performed in a square full of history and culture, where hospitality is the first feature......
The event born in the seventy years, for the tireless work, never forgot of papàs John Capparelli and other few friends, is yet again today to strengthen the "Vëllamja" (brotherhood) and the union of "arbëreshë" communities. A lot of communities "arbëreshë" of Calabria remember their traditions in both "Vallje", which usually take place on Tuesday after Easter, both in the Spring of Italian - Albanians, "which takes place each year in Santa Sofia of Epirus the second Sunday May, during the celebrations for the patron Saint Atanasio "the Great".
The CELEBRATION represents spring and a new life, the ancient custom of our fathers in the own land accustomed to meet each spring to strengthen the spirit of unity and brotherhood of a people that exile, has suffered oppression and defeats, but that had the ability to keep intact the attachment to their roots.
The originality of the event is demonstrated by the fact that is never equal to previous years or monotonous, because he knows innovate itself, giving those take part impressions always new ones. The inclusion of "foreigners" groups, which took place some years ago, had the means to share and to let know as much as possible an unquenchable cultural heritage and traditions.

Taste of Calabria


The city of Florence is launching an initiative in collaboration with FREE Aut & Aut News

Bonds of legality. Thus, from an idea by the President of "Freedom" Don Luigi Ciotti called the "reports" that mutual municipalities pursuant to choose institutional decide to forge between them. And in fact what they are. On the basis of specific acts (deliberations of the Council or Board and regional protocols) two municipalities, one of which territorially structurally and historically most at risk of Criminal infiltration, agree to cooperate on various levels with the intent to make the affirmation of road democratic legality. Our city was the founder of strategic alliances born in the wake emotional of the Fortugno’s Murder, but gradually over time reaffirmed and strengthened through gather real bonds between administrations and beyond. The cities with which Florence close this bond is Locri and with this council, but with more precision with all the territories of “locride”, courses in these 3 years has been a lot of the activities, meetings and collaboration. The Region of Tuscany with the Vice President Gelli has signed with the region of Calabria, a memorandum of understanding on the issues of their legality was always at the side of the city of Florence collaborating effectively with a view to creating the necessary synergies, not to export models pre already, but to provide knowledge and reality already born so that they can serve as a door opener and other new activities. Convinced that the affirmation of legality through the presence of the institutions, but also and above all through the presence in schools, with young people, and supporting the enhancement of local culture, we have organized our city in a week of Calabria ". This event which will open next April 14 involving the territories of locride and not just because galleries are some of the malls in Florence was held a sale of Calabro’s food products, products from these territories and Sometimes they have difficulty to be marketed elsewhere for infrastructure deficit and selling agencies. Moreover were organised some cultural activities and folklore certainly not less important, and that will work as a corollary to tighten in more detail "bonds of legality" and thus reach all 'goal of mutual and profitable growth. In leaflets attachments can be found in the specific organization of the week on which, by virtue of what is said and by virtue of the necessity to contribute to RELEASE
the territories from the yoke of criminal, we are convinced that civil society should participate.
