Pizzo
Pizzo dates back from the 12th century, and as you stroll around Pizzo you notice the charm and character that this unspoilt place has to offer. The tiny cobbled stone streets with their romantic stone houses, ornate monuments and fountains, tiny shops, both old and new a mixture of traditional life.
As you enter the piazza de republican 'the square of the people', you can see and feel the vitality and atmosphere that the properties in Pizzo hold. As you casually sip you coffee 'espresso o cafe' and savor your ice cream 'tartufo' the locally renowned delicacy from this area you realize you are on holiday. The views from the square are exquisite, you can view the marina and harbor, the maritime museum, churches and the most famous 'fountain of commercial' and beautiful apartments looking over the piazza. There are 8km of clear white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters to the East of the piazza. Pizzo has its own national monument, the castle of Murat. The fortress now houses the museum and library of napoleon and Murat memorabilia.See the most famous of Pizzo's Ice Cream IL TARTUFO being prepared by the artist Morino and his brother Raffaele at Chez Toi Gelateria in Pizzo. Pizzo is a favourite holiday destination with Italians in July and August. During this time Pizzo is lively, buzzing with festivals, parties and markets. Visit outside of these months and you'll find quiet beaches and a calmer atmosphere.
