History
Calabria has a long and fascinating history. It was first settled by the Greeks in the 8th century BC, and later came under the rule of the Romans, Byzantines, Normans, and Spanish. Each of these empires has left its mark on Calabria, and the region's culture is a rich blend of influences.
In the 19th century, Calabria became part of the newly unified Italy. However, the region remained poor and underdeveloped, and many Calabrians emigrated to the United States and other countries in search of a better life.
Today, Calabria is still one of the poorest regions in Italy. However, it is also a region of great natural beauty and cultural heritage. In recent years, tourism has begun to play an increasingly important role in the region's economy.
