Vinitaly and the City: Where History Meets Fine Wine in Reggio Calabria

Thousands of years of winemaking tradition meet the stunning backdrop of the Straits of Messina.

The heart of the Mediterranean is glowing with fine wine and rich culture! The National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria (MARRC)—home of the world-famous Riace Bronzes—has transformed into a striking light canvas to welcome Vinitaly and the City: Calabria in Wine.

Stretching along the iconic Lungomare Falcomatà, this event connects Calabria’s ancient viticultural roots directly to your glass. From historic indigenous grape varieties like Greco di Bianco and Gaglioppo to rich regional gastronomy, visitors can experience a sensory journey through history, flavor, and Southern Italian hospitality.
