The Cammino Basiliano: southern Italy’s newest walking trail

The Cammino Basiliano® runs north–south for nearly 1400 kilometres (1390 to be exact) across Calabria in southern Italy. This gorgeous region, occupying the “toe” of Italy’s boot, is famed for its dramatic landscapes. Sure enough, the trail laces its way through rugged mountains, traditional villages, plunging valleys and along a spellbinding coastline. It follows in the footsteps of the Basilian monks, a Greco-Italian order that followed the teachings of St Basil. 

Starting in Rocca Imperiale in Cosenza and finishing up in Reggio Calabria (facing Sicily across the Messina Strait), the Cammino Basiliano® traces the Calabrian Apennines, part of the mighty Apennine mountain chain that forms the backbone of peninsula Italy. The route is divided into 73 smaller stages, and takes in the four massifs of Pollino, Sila, Serre and Aspromonte. Here, we explore Calabria’s Cammino Basiliano® is all its glory.

Why you should visit the Cammino Basiliano®

Following a series of mountain chains, the landscapes of the Cammino Basiliano® are the most obvious draw. Wooded ridges, rocky outcrops and sheer-sided valleys make for fine walking country, while the Calabrian coastline is picture-perfect. As you wind your way through charming historic villages that haven’t changed in decades, where fresh Italian cuisine is served farm-to-plate at the local trattoria, you’ll find a slice of authentic Italy every bit as alluring as the staggering views. Walking the Cammino Basiliano® in Calabria also encourages slow, sustainable tourism. Appreciating the area’s valuable ecosystems and putting money back into its communities – for instance by staying at local lodgings and dining on local produce – helps to secure the region’s future.

There is plenty to captivate culture vultures along the route, too. The region has been shaped by a number of different civilizations over the sands of time, occupied variously by Bruttians, Oenotians, Greeks, Romans, Saracens and Normans. Archeological remains, Byzantine relics and ancient places of worship have been left in their wake. You’ll discover brilliant Basilian monasteries, crumbling fortresses, Latin abbeys and shrines carved into steep mountainsides. And don’t forget to pause in traditional towns and historic hamlets to check out local handicrafts – they make stonking souvenirs.

From ancient mule tracks and gravel roads to seven sections designated as “wild” – read: for experienced hikers only – you can select a section to suit your ability and timeframe. Alternatively, walk the lot and cross a real once-in-a-lifetime experience off your bucket list.

Top highlights along the Cammino Basiliano®

1. Pollino massif

The first part of the Cammino Basiliano® in Calabria takes in the Pollino massif, characterized by towering mountain peaks and plunging canyons that will take your breath away. The rugged scenery heralds a series of peaks topping 2000 metres, laced by old paths and countryside tracks that can also be negotiated by bike or on horseback. The glorious mountainscapes – punctuated by historic towns with fine fortresses and rich cultural offerings – eventually open up to reveal spectacular views to the Gulf of Taranto and the Piana di Sibari. As the route leaves the mountains behind, the spires of the Pollino massif are replaced by gentle slopes carpeted in olive groves.

Highlights along the first section of the route include Rocca Imperiale, the startpoint, crowned by an imposing Swabian fortress, and the village of Oriolo, its Norman castle perched above the ancient village. Also not to be missed are Alessandria del Carretto, the highest village in Pollino National Park; the Shrine of Madonna delle Armi, built on an ancient Byzanitine monastic site; and Civita, notable for its Albanian community. Near the end of the section, be sure to spend time in San Demetrio Corone, once home to a Greco-Italian monastic community and site of the Abbey of Sant’Adriano, complete with exquisite Norman mosaic floor tiling.

2. Sila plateau

The second section of the Cammino Basiliano® stretches from Acri, the northern gateway to Sila National Park, to Tiriolo, on the isthmus of Catanzaro at the peninsula’s narrowest point. The landscapes along this stretch feature dense forests and dappled woodlands that are faintly reminiscent of Scandinavia, while there are more rich pickings in the form of religious and cultural sites. To top it all off, remote mountain villages herald old tuff caves created by monks seeking shelter and space for prayer.

The section kicks off in style with the sublime landscapes of Sila National Park; other scenic highlights along the way include Valli Cupe Natural Regional Reserve – towards the close of the Sila stretch, where you’ll find centuries-old chestnut trees, tumbling waterfalls and the Petra Aggiellu monolith – and the Lago Ampollino reservoir, flanked by pines. Expect superlative views of the Piana di Sibari from Corigliano Calabro, the Neto Valley from towering Santa Severina, and out over the Gulf of Squillace as you head towards Sellia Superiore. Cultural standouts, meanwhile, include the 11th-century Abbey of Santa Maria del Patire; the Byzantine centre of Rossano; the Romanesque abbey of San Giovanni in Fiore; and Catanzaro, the region’s administrative capital and home to a collection of noteworthy historic buildings.

3. Serre Calabresi

The third part of the Cammino Basiliano® in Calabria runs along the Serre Calabresi, with forested mountain slopes, ancient monasteries, enigmatic hermit caves and sweeping coastal vistas. Spiritual sites are king here, and you’ll find endless monasteries, churches, hermitages and shrines to admire along this section, which ends in Gioiosa Ionica.

Highlights in the Serre Calabresi include Squillace, where the Monastery of Vivarium was founded in the 6th-century, renowned for its ceramics. Search for souvenirs before enjoying the tremendous views over the town’s namesake gulf. Badolato’s Church of the Immacolata, set adrift from the village on a narrow strip of land, is another showstopper, while the Byzantine Valley of Stilaro, surrounded by a trio of villages, sports an 11th-century monastery in Bivongi, hermit caves dating to the 6–7th centuries in the side of Mount Consolino, the Cattolica of Stilo, and a standout shrine to the Madonna della Stella in Pazzano, complete with a 10th-century fresco.

4. Aspromonte massif

The last stage of Calabria’s Cammino Basiliano® has jagged peaks, towering rock spires and a fascinating sense of living history. It’s here, in the Aspromonte massif, that you’ll find the last Calabrian-Greek (or “Grecanico”) speaking communities. The Grecanici are descended from the once sizable ancient and medieval Greek communities of southern Italy; today, alongside the archeological sites and religious relics you’ll have come to expect from the region, these unique communities are a joy to explore.

The Aspromonte section starts in Gerace, with the remains of a Norman castle, an imposing 11th-century cathedral and the pretty Piazza delle Tre Chiese. Bianco – the land of Greco wine – and Samo – home to the area’s finest Byzantine-Noman monument in the form of the Church of Santa Maria dei Tridetti – are both worthwhile stops, too. But the real draw of this region lies in its Grecanici communities, enduring bastions of Greek history, culture and tradition. Visit Bova, the capital of Greek Calabria, topping a spur 820 metres above sea level; Gallicianò, with its orthodox Church of Panaghìa tis Elladas, dedicated to Madonna di Grecia; or Pentedattilo, which was likely used as a fortress in Greco-Roman times.

The Cammino Basiliano® finally comes to its conclusion in Reggio Calabria, with a fabulous seafront location and unforgettable views to Sicily across the Messina Strait. Drink them in.

Atlas Plan marble-effect porcelain surface. Calacatta Imperiale by Atlas Plan is able to lend sophistication, elegance and spectacular impact to any interior design project. A milk white crossed with elegant, winding veining that varies from gold to orange red and even light grey. Bright and functional indoor spaces Calacatta Imperiale: a marble-effect porcelain slab in a 162x324cm size, a product that suits any type of space, from residential to commercial projects. The finish is either 12 or 20mm thickness silk or 12mm lapped lux. Thanks to the presence of Calacatta Imperiale Bookmatch – available for both finishes - it is possible to create continuous solutions with a unique atmosphere. Ordinary cleaning For the ordinary cleaning of Atlas Plan slabs, it is advisable to remove the dust with a dry and clean cloth. Afterwards, we recommend using the product FILABRIO. We suggest using the doses recommended by the manufacturer and a microfiber cloth. In any case, to avoid extraordinary cleaning, it is advisable to immediately remove any stain before it dries. Extraordinary cleaning In the case of dirt that is resistant to ordinary cleaning, it is recommended to use a detergent specific to the type of dirt. Prompt action remains an important factor for the success of the cleaning operation. It is suggested to perform a preliminary test on a small stained portion, verifying the effectiveness of the detergent before using it on the whole surface. Never use concentrated hydrochloric acid and/or caustic soda or detergents that contain hydrofluoric acid and/or its derivatives. Application The good result of the cleaning process is strictly related not only to the accurate choice of the product type but to its correct application as well. Thus, Atlas Plan always recommends to view the technical data sheet of the product chosen for cleaning.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ　　ㅤㅤ 　 　 　 　　　　ʟɪғᴇ ʙɪᴛᴇs　 ❚ 　florence, it 　　　 　　 new update　　﹫　　opheliagrimaldi 　　　　 　 　 　h. 00.58,　may 16th, 2022 　　　 　　 　 　　 ❪　 　 　 🌑　 　 　 ❫ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤ 　　　　Silenzio accolse la venere scura quando varcò l'ingresso di quell'hotel così tanto sfarzoso che una parte di lei, seppur profonda, si sentiva quasi a disagio. Era, tuttavia, una forma di disagio che affondava le sue radici con il nome dell'hotel che aveva scelto, l'unico che avrebbe potuto scegliere in verità e che l'aveva accolta come la futura regina. Una futura regina, però, che non era altro che una principessa ribelle con il temperamento di una combattente. Era così che si vedeva, o almeno era così che pensava di vedersi, in totale contrasto con le parole dello scozzese che, ancora una volta, sibilavano nella di lei mente. Combattere, reagire, lottare con le unghie e con i denti, e perfino urlare erano comportamenti che avrebbe dovuto mettere in atto fin da subito, eppure non s'era forse adagiata nella autocommiserazione? Quanta verità vi era nelle parole dell'uomo? Pia illusione s'affacciò nella mente della monegasca quando giunse alla reception dell'hotel. Tappeti che attutivano il ticchettio delle sue scarpe, lampadari così luminosi che facevano così male agli occhi da doverli socchiudere, ed immagini riflesse che mostravano una principessa sazia di una cena che mai si sarebbe aspettata così sorprendente. Allegra per la sua nuova amicizia, beata della convinzione che forse non era stato poi così male volare in Italia, e coscia che da lì a poche ore tutto sarebbe ritornato alla quotidianità di sempre. 　　ᴄᴏɴᴄɪᴇʀɢᴇ　　«　Vostra Grazia?　» Erano semplici quelle due parole, chiunque avrebbe potuto dirle per fermarla o anche solamente per salutarla, ma dal tono di voce che l'uomo le rivolse, era qualcosa di importante. Leggera come una libellula, ella si voltò, a pochi passi dall'ascensore che l'avrebbe portata nella sua suite imperiale, così simile a quelle che aveva visto a New York. Un debole sorriso fu quello che si aprì sulle labbra scure, su quel volto che portava i lineamenti regali ad un altro livello. 　　ᴄᴏɴᴄɪᴇʀɢᴇ　　«　Mi dispiace averla bloccata, Vostra Grazia. Spero che la sua serata sia andata bene e che il suo soggiorno qui al St. Regis sia stato di suo gradimento.　» 　　ᴏᴘʜᴇʟɪᴀ ᴀᴜʀᴀ 　　«　E' stato tutto perfetto, siete stati tutti molto accoglienti.　» Aveva rivelato un sorriso più ampio per quel comportamento così educato che l'uomo le aveva rivolto. L'accoglienza italiana, il calore che traspariva dalle loro parole, dai loro gesti era qualcosa che aveva sempre affascinato la donna, fin dall'infanzia quando desiderava così tanto oltrepassare il confine. In fondo, quanti chilometri la dividevano dalla terra italiana? 　　ᴄᴏɴᴄɪᴇʀɢᴇ　　«　E' arrivato qualcosa per lei.　» 　　ᴏᴘʜᴇʟɪᴀ ᴀᴜʀᴀ 　　«　Per me?　» 　　ᴄᴏɴᴄɪᴇʀɢᴇ　　«　Il corriere ha detto che avrei dovuto lasciarlo solamente a lei in persona, e che le istruzioni fornite erano state piuttosto chiare.　» 　　ᴏᴘʜᴇʟɪᴀ ᴀᴜʀᴀ 　　«　Aaron...　» Mormorò tra sé immaginando il tono maschile, così deciso, così perentorio, e quel suo temperamento dominante che metteva in atto con chiunque venisse a contatto con lui. Era impossibile non drizzare la schiena quando lo scozzese parlava, ma quando si trattava di lavoro o di qualche suo sottoposto, chissà come, era impossibile non notare come tutti si affrettassero per compiacerlo. 　　ᴄᴏɴᴄɪᴇʀɢᴇ　　«　Come dice?　» 　　ᴏᴘʜᴇʟɪᴀ ᴀᴜʀᴀ 　　«　Nulla, non si preoccupi. Va bene, grazie mille. Li porto direttamente nelle mie stanze, grazie.　» Le passò l'immensa scatola bianca, il coperchio che ancora le nascondeva il dono che era certa contenesse con quella leggerezza che quasi stonava. Poteva essere una scatola così ingombrante ma al tempo stesso così leggera? Congedò il concierge, il sorriso che gli rivolse gli fece imporporare maggiormente le gote, con quel suo atteggiamento regale che la portò lentamente verso l'ascensore. Era stanca, sfinita dopo quelle quarantotto ore in giro per la città, ma era fiera di come il dialogo con lo scozzese si stesse lentamente evolvendo. Non mancavano le discussioni, sempre più accese certo, ma vi erano momenti in cui sia l'uno che l'altra porgevano l'altra guancia con qualche regalo o semplicemente nell'esserci. Il bip dell'ascensore la portò direttamente nella suite che l'aveva accolta come una principessa, il giorno precedente, il letto immenso era coperto dal cotone più raffinato, gli inserti oro e blu erano i migliori che avesse mai trovato in un albergo, e solamente quando si sedette sul lato sinistro del letto, si concesse un bel respiro e un sorriso per il gesto inaspettato. Era un sorriso sincero quello che aleggiava sulle labbra della dea corvina quando aprì la scatola, e come era sbocciato per il pensiero del mittente che ancora una vola la colse di sorpresa, così il sorriso morì quando lo sguardo si posò sull'interno della scatola. Un'espressione di disgusto, di paura, ma anche di profondo rancore si annidò nell'anima della venere che osservava ciò che rimaneva dei peggiori fiori morti che potesse vedere. Gambi spezzati, boccioli di rosa appassiti e così tanto scuri da fa venire i brividi, ma era la sensazione che ne scaturì a farle allontanare la scatola con un moto di stizza. Così giovane e così ingenua, così dannatamente candida da credere che l'uomo che avrebbe dovuto sposare potesse porgere l'altra guancia in uno scontro con lei. E perché, poi? Perché quel regalo così angusto, così macabro da farle rimettere in discussione tutte le decisioni che aveva preso fino a quel momento? Era certa che avrebbe sbagliato ancora e ancora, in fondo era nella sua natura, ma quello scherzo era così di cattivo gusto che difficilmente avrebbe trovato una sorta di perdono. Solamente quando vide alcuni petali muoversi, mostrando un segno di vita che proveniva da esseri così viscidi, così minuscoli e striscianti, che avrebbero animato i suoi peggior incubi, ella si concesse un urlo che rimbombò nel cuore della notte.

Human Beauty Is The Dignity Of Beings

La Croix L'Hebdo: Last September, the Visa pour l'image photojournalism festival awarded you an Honorary Visa d'Or for Your Lifetime Achievement and the Praemium Imperiale Prize, awarded by the Imperial Family of Japan , has just been assigned to you. What do these rewards mean to you? Sebastião Salgado: It’s a mark of recognition for my work that touches me. The Visa d'Or was a real surprise, the secret had been well kept, I had gone to Perpignan to see exhibitions and attend the closing evening where a selection of images from Amazônia was to be screened. The Praemium Imperiale Prize has another connotation, I was born in Brazil and this country has a very special relationship with Japan: at the turn of the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of Japanese emigrated to Brazil to participate in the modernization of the country. On a more personal level, Lélia, my wife, and I taught for fifteen years at the Nippon Photography Institute in Tokyo, which reinforced our attachment to this country.

Do you remember your first photographic emotion? Se. S .: I remember it very well: we were in France for a short time, we were very young - Lélia was 22 years old, I was 25 - and we had to leave Brazil in the summer of 1969 because of our political commitments against the military dictatorship. Lélia was enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture and, for her studies, she very quickly needed to photograph buildings. In the spring of 1970, some friends lent us a house in Haute-Savoie, and we took the opportunity to go to Geneva to buy a camera. She chose a Pentax with a 50mm lens. Back home, we started to test it, and the first photograph I took was a picture of Lélia, sitting at the window. I still have it. I had never touched a device before and found it fantastic to be able to image anything that I found beautiful or interesting into an image: it was like a little miracle.

This is how the photo entered my life, never to come out. What training did you take? Se. S .: I did not follow any theoretical training, I learned in the field and especially in my laboratory: I developed all my films myself and I learned to exhibit my films according to the result I wanted. in the print, which I made for a long time alone. I have worked a lot in Africa. I realized that the films were designed for fair skin and the light of the rich countries, that beautiful and soft light of the North. They were neither suited to the harsh light of the tropics nor to black skin whose grain they did not give back. By dint of trial and error in my laboratory, I changed the way I exposed my films, changed the chemical formula of the developer, I freed myself from the instructions for use. With this empirical self-study, I surely lost time, but I also gained a lot of freedom, probably more than if I had left a school.

What advice would you give to a young photographer today? Se. S .: I can only give advice for the kind of photography that interests me: reportage, human, environmental, social photography. I would advise him to go to a university to train in social sciences: to do a little history, geography, geopolitics, anthropology, sociology. He must be able to understand the society in which he is a part and which is the object of his work, so that he can fully insert himself into the historical moment he is living through. Controlling the light, being the best cameraman is not enough, you have to understand the history in motion, with past and future issues in perspective. You work in black and white, why this choice? Se. S .: My very first photos in Savoie were color slides, it was when I returned to the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris, where we lived, that I discovered black and white thanks to a Brazilian friend, who told me. initiated the draw.

As soon as I was able, I set up a small lab in our home and, to finance my photography - our budget was very tight at the time - I started making black and white prints for residents of the city. Back in the day, working in color was much more expensive and more complicated to develop and print your work yourself. Another big drawback in my eyes is that with color the narrative sequence is cut off: the slides are independent of each other, once they are laid out on the light table you only keep the best ones. , the others disappear and the sequence is broken. With the contact sheet, photos and films follow one another and the narrative thread is preserved, you follow the course of time, even through the years: with black and white, the story is told.

Hotel Property Award 2021 Winners

196+ hotelforum Munich jury nominates ten hotels for “Hotel Property Award 2021”

• More and more individual hotel concepts, including two holiday hotels

• Hotels from Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy and Switzerland have been nominated

• Majority of buildings nominated are new, only three conversions

Munich, 2 September 2021 – The interdisciplinary jury of experts has nominated ten hotels from among 28 applications received from 12 European countries for the “Hotel Property Award 2021”, which will be presented on Wednesday, 13 October as part of the hybrid 196+ hotelforum conference.

The ten nominees include six hotels from Germany and one each from Denmark, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. Seven of the hotels are new constructions, three are the result of the conversion of a former administrative building, a bank office building and an old postal building, respectively; two of the nominated hotels belong to the category of holiday hotels.

Andreas Martin, Chairman of the jury: “We have once again seen more newly-built hotels than conversions among the nominated hotels this year as a proportion of the 28 total applications, but also in contrast to previous years, even though ten of the applications were for re-developments and repositioning of existing properties. What is particularly clear this year is that more and more special concepts are coming onto the market, both in the budget segment and in the segment focussing on long-term stays, and that these are characterised by a high degree of individuality, with a strong focus on the respective target group.”

Moreover, the development of the neighbourhood and the embedding of the new hotel in existing or newly-developed surroundings still play a central role in all the nominated hotels.

The expert jury with a total of 18 members is made up of experts from the fields of architecture, operation, development, finance, technical building installations and design of hotel properties, as well as of representatives from the media and academia.

“The discussion among the jury regarding the nomination for the ‘Hotel Property Award 2021’ was very intensive and lively, as always. The strong individuality requires an enhanced examination of the respective product. We were particularly concerned with the issues related to sustainability and integration into the surroundings,” said jury spokesperson and architect Oliver Collignon. “I found the overall conceptual and typological diversity of the 28 hotels submitted remarkable.”

196+ hotelforum considers interaction between the following categories to be decisive in selecting the nominees:

– architectural design quality (innovation) – integration into the project’s surroundings (destination) – sustainability and technical innovation (the future) – the originality of the concept (creativity) – economic efficiency (investment)

The ten nominees in alphabetical order:

– AMERON Munich Motorworld (Munich, Germany) – CAB20 (Hamburg, Germany) – Das Schlafwerk (Korntal-Münchingen, Stuttgart-Nord, Germany) – Falkensteiner Hotel Kronplatz (Bruneck/Reischach, South Tyrol, Italy) – KONCEPT HOTEL International (Cologne, Germany) – PAPA RHEIN ∙ Hotel & Spa (Bingen, Germany) – Ruby Luna (Düsseldorf, Germany) – Stay KooooK Bern (Berne, Schweiz) – Superbude Wien Prater (Vienna, Austria) – Villa Copenhagen (Copenhagen, Denmark)
