[edit] Geography

Marcellinara is located in the middle of the slimmest area of Italy with only 50Km from east to west [someimes referred to as "La Terra di Due Mari", the land of two seas because it is the narrowest point between the Ionic and Tyhrennean seas] located close to both the regional capital of Catanzaro and the major airport of Lamezia Terme.
