Brief historical overview
Il Villaggio Trepidò è una frazione del comune di Cotronei (KR) nato durante la realizzazione del Lago Ampollino alla fine degli anni Venti del secolo scorso. Inizialmente era un villaggio di sole villette ad uso degli operai che lavoravano per la costruzione della diga; subì un forte sviluppo negli anni successivi alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale, attirando turisti affascinati dal suggestivo lago.

Petilia Policastro is an ancient village, probably of Byzantine origins, that continues to rely to this day on sheep farming and wood industry. It features the famous convent of Santa Spina, where it is kept a relic of one of the thorns of Jesus Christ’s crown. The relic comes from France and it is worshiped every year by locals on the second Friday of March, during the procession of the Calvary.
