Designated as the 2024 Italian Capital of the Book, Taurianova is actively rewriting its civic history. For decades, this municipality of 15,310 residents was primarily associated with a brutal 1991 'ndrangheta feud, which left eight people murdered in three days. Today, literary initiatives are driving a new chapter for the fifth-largest town in the Reggio Calabria area.
Located 40 kilometers from the provincial capital, the territory encompasses smaller hamlets like San Martino and Donna Livia. Beyond recent cultural events, the town is widely known for its handmade nougat, a traditional confectionery staple that remains a point of local pride.
