Catanzaro Province
Catanzaro Province is located just south of Cosenza Province. It is the slimmest area of Italy - just 50 kilometers across from sea to sea. Because of this, the Italians sometimes refer to it as "La Terra di Due Mari". Catanzaro (city) is the the capital of Catanzaro Province as well as all of Calabria. It overlooks the Gulf of Squillace. It was founded in the 9th century by the Byzantines to control the mountain pass between the Ionian Sea and the Tyrhenian Sea. Since the 11th century Catanzaro has been known for it's production of fine lace and silkworm breeding which has been exported throughout Europe. For centuries the Vatican has ordered it's laces and linens for priest vestments as well as many of the Royal Houses of Europe. This capital city boasts a Norman castle built in 1060.
