The publication of this guide is part of a more complex project which, with some difficulty, the Municipal Administration is bringing to term in order to re-value, safeguard and revitalise the Historic Centre as it represents the most important reference point for the identity of all the Caulonians who live in the territory, in the nation, indeed the world. To contribute to the safeguard of our historical heritage, of the traditions borne of centuries, to stimulate their rediscovery; to comply with the thirst for knowledge regarding our roots, thankfully still present in our younger generations; to offer to them and to our visitors, hoping that they’ll be more and more numerous, and to our expatriates who will turn these pages with pride and nostalgia, this easy to consult high quality guide; lastly, to finish a job begun around twelve years ago: these are the motivations which underlie this publication. To all those who, in different roles, with different responsibilities and different areas of competence have played a part in the fulfilment of this project, a heartfelt thank-you.
