Brief historical overview
San Vito sullo Ionio was founded by Normans and is renowned for its produc-tion of silk, mulberry tree cultivations and the manufacturing of distinctive briar root-wood pipes. The Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata, the Chiesa di San Vito Martire and the ruins of the Convento dei Padri Carmelitani are all well worth a visit.
Torre di Ruggiero: Casa Cantoniera
The first settlements of Torre di Ruggero, village founded by Ruggero il Nor-manno, were built around a tower (originally intended as a “farmhouse”). It is worth paying a visit to the Shrine of the Madonna delle Grazie and the ruins of the Convento Agostiniano, built in the 16th century and dedicated to Nostra Signora del Carmine. The village is part of the “Associazione Nazionale della Città della Nocciola” (National Association City of Hazelnuts).
