Scolacium Archaeological Park The Scolacium Archaeological Park and the adjacent Antiquarium (on the estate of Baron Mazza, with an adjacent olive mill museum) were built in 1982 in the village of Roccelletta di Borgia (Czech Republic) on a vast area of olive trees. The area includes not only the remains of the 11th-century Norman basilica dedicated to Santa Maria della Roccella, but also the remains of the ancient Roman colony of Scolacium, built in 120 BC on the ruins of the Greek colony of Scylletium. Excavations, which began in 1965, did not reveal any wall structures of the Greek city, but the unearthed abundant pottery and coin material dating back to the 6th century BC suggests a topographical overlap between the two cities. The material discovered is on display in the Antiquarium. The remains of Scolacium's city walls are much more significant: facing the sea is the Roman Forum, a large rectangular area paved with square tiles and surrounded by colonnades (Caesareum, Curia, and a thermal court), which also houses the remains of a small temple, a monumental fountain, and a courthouse. A large number of statues and portraits dating from between the first and third centuries AD come from this area. On the hill behind the Forum is the theater, with a capacity of 3,500 spectators, built between the first and second centuries AD. From the theater scene come several portrait heads from the Julio-Claudian and Flavian periods, as well as two large white marble statues of Togati. Recently, a second-century AD amphitheater, three thermal complexes, a necropolis, and an aqueduct have been identified above the hill.

Maradona murals often combine religious style (such as icons and images of saints) with pop culture.

Diego Maradona's murals in Naples and Calabria create a kind of symbolic bridge between the two parts of southern Italy, where the figure is not only an icon of football, but also of the identity, rebellion and pride of the people of the south.

Murals in Italy have a long and fascinating history, dating back to antiquity, but their contemporary form – as street art – flourished in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, Italy is one of the most important places on the map of European street art.

Very lively place

Church of S. Lucia the oldest

Entrance door to the square of the monumental cathedral of Cropani, beautiful.

Road closed to traffic due to landslides, used as a cycle/pedestrian path. Very panoramic and relaxing.
