Hi, i have been in Catanzaro, Calabria for nearly 3 months now, having spent nearly a year an a half commuting between here and London to see my partner (i am on first name terms with Alitalia by now!). I am starting to love it and got most defensive when it was described in a bbc news site as "dull and ugly"!

For anyone passing through to see the Magna Graecia exhibition, take a wander into the Centro Storico (on foot, don't even think about driving!) and i think you will find the old Italy that you dreamed about! The national parks up in the mountains are also spectacular.
Apart from my new found enthusiasm for Catanzaro, i am finding ½ûÂþÌìÌà a bit of a challenge and haven't even started on the conjunctive yet! Ah well, there is time for study when the weather isn't so beautiful!
