NYT chooses Calabria as a destination to visit in 2017

The American newspaper “The New York Times” chose the Calabria region, in southern Italy, as one of the places to visit in 2017.

Located in the “toe” of the boot that symbolizes the Italian map, this part of the country is known for its beautiful beaches, great wine and gastronomic tradition, orange and tangerine plantations and for being off the most crowded routes on the peninsula.

Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

The “NYT” recognizes Calabria as the region of Italy where you can find the best food, outside the classic international tourist circuit, which includes the Venice-Florence-Rome axis.

Furthermore, the newspaper highlights the “modest” prices practiced in Calabrian cities and the growing importance of local organic wines – made without the use of chemicals –. “The 'New York Times' nomination fills us with pride. Receiving this recognition from one of the most renowned information organizations in the world confirms that Calabria is on the right path”, celebrated governor Mario Oliverio.
