Tiriolo is the land of two seas: from the top of the town, from the Castle Park, you can clearly see the boundary of the Calabrian emerged lands that winds between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas. A unique emotion! But Tiriolo is also a center rich in history and traditions where some of the best Calabrian artisans live: potters like Corrado Rotundo, weavers like Mirella Leone and luthiers like Tommaso Leone. The Regional Costume Museum and the Antiquarium are very interesting, as well as the magnificent historical centre.

Church of S. Maria de Plateis in S. Anna, Catanzaro The historical events of the Church of S. Anna are closely linked to the ancient parish of S. Maria de Plateis, or the square that, before its demolition due to the damage caused by the earthquake of 1783, stood in front of the Church of the Collegio del Gesù, the curtain of the buildings of the Paesello district - which was demolished in the Fascist era - and the Morano Palace, which later became the seat of the royal audience and currently the seat of the Prefecture. In the city there is a strong devotion to Saint Anne by the pregnant women, of whom she is the protector and who still today, as an ex voto, deon¬gono numerous blue and pink bows at the foot of the main altar.

Church of the Mount of the Dead and of Mercy, Catanzaro Although the date on the facade of the Church of Monte shows the date of 1728, the history of this sacred building, dear to the people of Catanzaro, dates back to the seventeenth century. In the fifteenth century, some Calabrian notables founded the Monte della Misericordia, through which funds were raised to carry out works of charity in the suffrage of the dead. After the capital (the mountain) was collected, a chapel for the souls of purgatory was built. In 1739 the church was consecrated. The central dome of 1769 is decorated with a painting of Saint Philip Neri surrounded by four evangelists. Inside the church, among other things, four paintings by Catanzaro Stadera from 1753 and a Madonna with angels by Giovanni Del Prete from 1642 have been preserved. On the portal a papier-mâché crucifix of the 600. Text / Source: Comune Catanzaro https://www.comune.catanzaro.it/la-citta/

Church of S. Nicola di Morano or delle Donne, Catanzaro The oldest document on this medieval church shows us the sale of a house in terracotta in the thirteenth-century Catanzaro and another house in the peripheral and restricted parish of S. Nicola Ustunci or de Rustunci, which some historians have given the oldest name of the church to S. Nicola identify di Morano. The title "of women" is not to be attributed to "the frequency with which he gave them the name", but to the cult reserved for the holy bishop of Mira, who as a husband was always the patron saint of girls, since he, after having Having learned that a neighbor, falling into poverty and unable to afford a decent dowry for the three daughters, was planning to assign them to prostitution, he then thought of intervening by sneaking out of a window and for three Nights in a row into the house threw three golden vaults, which allowed to form the dowry for the three virgins, whose fate he saved.
