Tiriolo is a charming village in Calabria, southern Italy, known as the "place between two seas." It is picturesquely situated on a hill overlooking the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas. Tiriolo boasts ancient roots, a rich history, traditional craftsmanship, and a welcoming, authentic atmosphere.

Tiriolo is the land of two seas: from the top of the town, from the Castle Park, you can clearly see the boundary of the Calabrian emerged lands that winds between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas. A unique emotion! But Tiriolo is also a center rich in history and traditions where some of the best Calabrian artisans live: potters like Corrado Rotundo, weavers like Mirella Leone and luthiers like Tommaso Leone. The Regional Costume Museum and the Antiquarium are very interesting, as well as the magnificent historical centre.

Known as the "village of the two seas" thanks to its fortunate position which guarantees it a unique panorama of the seas surrounding the Calabria region, the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian.

Tiriolo is a charming city in the province of Catanzaro. Here there are noble palaces, churches, the remains of the castle and the Costume Museum.

Funicolare di Catanzaro / Catanzaro Funicular The Catanzaro Funicular (Italian: Funicolare di Catanzaro) is a funicular railway in the city of Catanzaro, Calabria, Italy. It connects the upper part of the city, in Piazza Roma, with Catanzaro Sala via a stop at Piano Casa. The line carries around 580,000 passengers per year. The current route was opened in 1998 with the track bed and tunnel of the funicular section of the former Automotofunicolare di Catanzaro, a hybrid electric tram and funicular that operated between 1910 and 1954. The reopened line was operated by the Ferrovie della Calabria, whose concession expired in 2014. The line was closed in mid-2014 due to the poor state of the infrastructure, and in November of the same year the city of Catanzaro published a tender for a modernization of the funicular. Works worth EUR 0.5 million were carried out to equip new surveillance, control and communication equipment and the line was reopened on 12 November 2016 Text/Source: Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catanzaro_funicular

Church of S. Nicola di Morano or delle Donne, Catanzaro The oldest document on this medieval church shows us the sale of a house in terracotta in the thirteenth-century Catanzaro and another house in the peripheral and restricted parish of S. Nicola Ustunci or de Rustunci, which some historians have given the oldest name of the church to S. Nicola identify di Morano. The title "of women" is not to be attributed to "the frequency with which he gave them the name", but to the cult reserved for the holy bishop of Mira, who as a husband was always the patron saint of girls, since he, after having Having learned that a neighbor, falling into poverty and unable to afford a decent dowry for the three daughters, was planning to assign them to prostitution, he then thought of intervening by sneaking out of a window and for three Nights in a row into the house threw three golden vaults, which allowed to form the dowry for the three virgins, whose fate he saved.
