and enjoyable life can be led right here in the South of Italy.
We are asking for your sponsorship to assist our efforts. Like all worthwhile endeavors, we expend a great deal of
effort doing our research, developing and translating our stories and publishing them to the web and printed format.
While the work is certainly rewarding, we (like the local public broadcasting system) hope to attract enough
investment to cover our costs.
Our approach is simple. We write honest stories about a broad range of topics regarding Calabria, telling of her
rich mythology, history, cuisine, traditions and modern life. We do this in several ways:
Our stories also portray the reality of Calabria to local Calabrians by describing how Calabria is perceived by

you for your consideration.
Please take a minute and pledge your financial support!
With Kind Regards,
Marty Sturino
