Here is the Castle from
the orange groves below in Santa Severina.
Continue on this road to Petilia Policastro, Altilia
and Roccabernarda. Santa Severina was the
home town of Pope Zachary (of Pepin fame) and also
the seat of the Byzantine Church in Southern Italy.

A Weaver
Here is a picture of a woman in Santa Severina (then
Catanzaro, now Kroton) weaving a blanket.
The homecrafts of the Calabrese women are
world renowned. On this day, I found young
Armenian women working on these looms learning the
age old crafts of Calabria.

The
Church of Santa Filomena
The 8th century church,
originally Byzantine, contains the vat from which
Santa Filomena saved a drowning child. The
Biafora family of Santa Severina hold the key to
his chapel.
