Crotone is an Italian town of 60 112 inhabitants, capital of the homonymous province in Calabria.
The city was founded by Greek settlers from the region of Achaia in the second half of the eighth century B.C. in the place of a persistent indigenous settlement, and represented thanks to the spread of the Italic-Pythagorean phenomenon one of the most important centers of Magna Grecia. The old town develops in a maze of narrow alleys and squares up to the cathedral and the central Piazza Pitagora, a point of contact between "old" and "new" cities. The city is located on the east side of Calabria and the climate is temperate.
