Sport and tourism: a perfect combination in a land kissed by the sun and a thousand-year history to discover the artistic-cultural beauties of the area and the numerous typical food and wine specialties. Calabria, therefore, is preparing to once again be a point of reference and sounding board at a national level for the youth volleyball discipline thanks to the work done over time by the Municipality of Corigliano-Rosano and in particular by the Mayor Flavio Stasi, who with a series of events they have increased its prestige and reputation for excellent success, with increasingly significant attention to logistical-organizational aspects and quality.
