Ancient tradition, flourishing ceramics and terracotta
Of ancient tradition are the flourishing arts and crafts of ceramics and terracotta, an art which is probably very ancient and developed as early as Magna Graecia, making Squillace one of the twenty-seven Italian municipalities that have the DOC (DOP) designation. Many of the works created here are exhibited in the museums of London, Paris, New York, Capodimonte and Palermo.
Today in the ancient city, thanks to the associations represented in the area and the commitment and participation of citizens, numerous festivals and traditions are back in fashion. Among the most followed events, the palio del principato, the procession of the three kings, the castle festival and the crib.
In the last thirty years a rapidly expanding seaside resort has developed on the beaches of the historic center, whose population almost doubles in the summer season.
The development of tourism has been the driving force behind the opening of farmhouses and holiday promotions.
