Santa Severina

Santa Severina

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.
