I will be coming to Isca Sullo Ionio in November. My great grand father was from there. I was wondering if I could meet someone that could help with my ancestry and show us around Isca. Thanks for any help.
Scilla (The Essential Guide to Calabria)
Scilla is a town in Calabria, administratively part of the Province of Reggio Calabria. It is the traditional site of the sea monster Scylla of Greek mythology.
The town lies in front of the strait of Messina, and it is composed of two parts: the downtown, where the town offices and the residence of the patronal saint are situated, and Marina di Scilla, the beach-front, populated by tourists and thus heavily characterized by hotels and restaurants. Since its beach is the first place north of Reggio Calabria where the waters are not cooled down by the strait draughts.
The Ruffo Castle, a fortress built by the Dukes of Calabria overlooks the beach. On a seaward-facing terrace is Scilla Lighthouse, an important aid to ships entering the Strait of Messina from the north.
