Acerenthia (Acerentum/Cerenzia Vecchia)
Origins unknown and the site of much Calabrese history.
Many families from San Giovannni, Castelsilano,
Cerenzia, Caccuri, Savelli, Verzino, Rocca di Neto
originated here. Though a ghost of its former glory,
it claimed two canonized saints, San Cirillo, San
Bernardo and wonderful stories of St. Theodore of
Amasea, (4th Century) who was supposed to have killed
a dragon and saved our princess.
