It has been called "the Florence of the south" for its art and architecture or the "city of saints" for its religious buildings. Gerace's Norman Cathedral is the largest religious building in Calabria. My husband's home town is Gioisa Ionica in Reggio Calabria, so of course I'd alos have to include it in my list.   <strong><em>See ... I haven't been to Gerace yet. But it is HIGH on my list!
