Beyond the seafront, the centre gives way to urban sprawl. Ravaged by earthquakes, the
most recent in 1908, this once-proud ancient Greek city has plenty of other woes. As a
port and the largest town close to the 'ndrangheta strongholds of Aspromonte, organised
crime is a major problem, with the associated corrosive social effect.
On a lighter note, there are plenty of festivals in Reggio - early August sees the
Festival
dello Stretto
(
www.festivaldellostretto.it
)
, featuring the traditional music of the south.
