On 11 May 2025, the National Day of the Authentic Villages of Italy makes a stop in Calabria with a double date in Casali del Manco and Bovalino, two territories that tell the authentic soul of the region, between mountain landscapes and coastal scenery.

In Casali del Manco, in the heart of the Sila National Park, you will be able to take part in an evocative walk along the ‘panoramic path’, an itinerary immersed in unspoilt nature that offers breathtaking views of Lake Arvo and the highest peaks of the Sila massif. An experience suitable for everyone, to rediscover the pleasure of walking in a pure and regenerating environment.

In Bovalino Superiore, a historical village overlooking the Ionian Sea, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in a journey through traditions, culture and views ranging from Aspromonte to the coast. A place where past and present meet, amidst ancient rituals, good food and a welcome that makes one feel at home.

The 2025 edition, entitled ‘Storie da abitare: borghi, beni comuni e futuro condiviso’, celebrates the value of communities, inviting travellers and residents to experience villages not only as destinations to visit, but as spaces for relationships, sharing and authenticity.
