Tips
Buonvicino, a municipality in Calabria, has historical roots that extend back to ancient Greece. The name may derive from the Bombaci family or from the dialect word "bombaci," which means "snail." In the past, local communities dedicated themselves to pastoralism and agriculture. This territory was initially divided into three villages: Salvato, Tripidone and Trigiano. Continuous threats, including barbarian invasions, led to the formation of Buonvicino in the 13th century. Today, the town is famous for the statue of San Ciriaco Abate.
