Calabria is a region in southern Italy which is about 15,080 square kilometers in size and has a total population of 2 million. It is situated at the toe of the Italian peninsula south of Naples.

It is a narrow peninsula that extends into the heart of the Mediterranean for 300 kilometers. Calabria is known as the land of contrasts where the temperature in the mountains with below zero differs from the 40˚C in summer along the low valley areas.
