Traditionally produced Tartufo since 1965!!

A unique little church built directly on the beach. Legend has it that it was built by Neapolitan coral traders who survived a shipwreck. Inside, various sculptures, statues, and decorations carved directly into the rock face are featured. There's an entrance fee (and there's also a nearby parking lot if you arrive by car).

An excellent starting point for a visit to the historic center of Pizzo Calabro

A very beautiful church.

Beautiful fortress with a great history of Napoleon's brother-in-law

The castle, used as a museum, where Gioacchino Murat was imprisoned, was built in 1492 by Ferrante d'Aragona. It is a quadrangular structure overlooking the sea on one side and surrounded by a deep moat on the other. Inside there are remains of a sculpture by Antonio Canova (the original was destroyed during the passage of Giuseppe Garibaldi, only a part representing a helmet remained intact). Access to the interior was via a drawbridge between two towers, now replaced by a traditional limestone bridge. The castle is dedicated to Murat, who was shot here on October 13, 1815. Inside the building there are some historical reconstructions and testimonies of these tragic events. Source: https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzo_(comune)

The Church of San Rocco and San Francesco da Paola in Pizzo was built in the 16th century in gratitude for being saved from a terrible plague epidemic that had struck the city. The church, located not far from the Church of Purgatory, was originally dedicated only to San Rocco, but also had attached the structure of the convent of the brothers of the Order of the Minimists of Saint Francis of Paola, which was temporarily dissolved there at the end of the 18th century. with the establishment of the Holy Fund and at the beginning of the 19th century. with the French. In 1973 it was recognized as a parish and dedicated to San Rocco and San Francesco di Paola. With the unification of Italy it was used as a barracks and then as a hospital. The earthquake of 1905 partially destroyed the upper part of the high wall structure of the church, so it was rebuilt in 1907 with the participation of the entire population.

The tartufo in its current form was created in Pizzo, in the Bar Dante (ca. 1952), by chance: after the wedding of two wealthy locals, Don Pippo realized that he had run out of molds to make the gelato and could no longer supply them to numerous guests. So he tried to solve the problem by putting small portions of hazelnut gelato and chocolate gelato in the palm of his hand and putting some melted chocolate inside. He then wrapped everything in sugar paper and thus the well-known tartufo mold was created, which he then left to cool. The success of the preparation brought him immediate fame. The original recipe is still appreciated by De Maria's relatives. Source and further information: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartufo
