Pictures and Foods of Southern Italy: Bagnara Calabra Province of Calabria

I recently went through a stack of old photos my mother had laying around and scanned a few to post. The photos are all taken in the Province of Calabria (Southern Italy). 

Calabria was, and continues to be, a poor region (by northern Italian standards), however the people tend to lead happy lives.  From a culinary perspective, Calabrians tend to consume:

• swordfish
• sardines
• cod (Baccalà)
• pork
• lamb
• goat
• eggplant
• chili pepper
• Lemon
• Fruit (pears, peach, cactus pears, mulberry, etc.)

From a production and economic perspective, there's not much going on.  Tourism, however, is a key industry as is the production of pottery.
