The Calabria Region has a mainly hilly and mountainous territory while only a small part is flat starting from the north we find Monte Pollino, whose summit reaches a height of over two thousand meters and as you go south the altitudes tend to decrease with the Aspromonte that touches the two thousand meters, the plateau della Sila with its 1500 meters up to the plains of Lamezia Terme with Monte Poro which has a height of only 710 meters.

Finally, in 1860 Calabria definitively entered the Kingdom of Italy with Garibaldi who defeated the Bourbons. With the advent of the Normans, Calabria was divided into completely autonomous areas which tended to remain the same even under other dominations, from the Swabians to the Aragonese to the Bourbons later they became part of the Kingdom of the two Sicilies. The decline of the Roman Empire led Calabria to be a land of conquest for the barbarians and a new battleground between them and the Byzantines. The order was re-established for a short time as the Punic wars crossed the whole region due to the alliance of the Calabrian cities with Carthage resulting in much destruction ending roughly in the second century BC. In Calabria, however, there were not only Greek colonists but also local populations such as the Bruzi and Lucani who soon fought with the Greek cities that asked for help in Rome. Many cities such as Reggio di Calabria, Crotone or Sibari have their roots in the Greek era as they are situated in strategic places for trade between the Calabrian coast, Sicily and Greece.

Calabria has been inhabited since prehistoric times and there are traces dating back to settlements over fifty thousand years ago but it is from the eighth century BC that Calabria is colonized by the Greeks and becomes one of the territories of Magna Grecia together with Puglia, Basilicata and Sicily.
