A look from the Tower

In the picturesque setting of the Torre Sant'Antonio resort in Santa Caterina dello Ionio, the cultural festival "A look from the Tower" returns for its ninth edition. Every year, this event offers encounters dedicated to photography, literature, music and current affairs, with a strong link to Calabrian history and identity.

The 2025 edition will feature an important new development: the festival will network with other organisations in the area, involving Sant'Andrea Apostolo dello Ionio and Badolato to create a widespread cultural itinerary. The programme offers unmissable events:
