Reggio Calabria, Mentana points the finger: “The mosaics of the Villa di Casignana a few meters from the car exhausts”

Enrico Mentana’s is a cry of pain: “Splendors and miseries of Italy – writes Mentana on social media – the wonderful mosaic of the Indian Triumph of Dionysus in the Roman villa of Casignana (in Reggio Calabria) five meters from the state road that certainly covers other treasures and threatens those already brought to light (and to the smoke of exhausts)”. A complaint underlined several times.

The Casignana villa is a hidden treasure… or almost. Although it is a stone’s throw from the sea, a stone’s throw from the SS 106, the Villa is still too little valued and known. A magical place located in the splendid and wild Costa dei Gelsomini between Bovalino and Bianco. A place where history mixes with legend, a place where you can breathe culture in every corner, in every part of the 15 hectares on which it extends.
