Santa Severina Here is the Castle from the orange groves below in Santa Severina. Continue on this road to Petilia Policastro, Altilia and Roccabernarda. Santa Severina was the home town of Pope Zachary (of Pepin fame) and also the seat of the Byzantine Church in Southern Italy. |

A Weaver Here is a picture of a woman in Santa Severina (then Catanzaro, now Kroton) weaving a blanket. The homecrafts of the Calabrese women are world renowned. On this day, I found young Armenian women working on these looms learning the age old crafts of Calabria. |
