Cosenza
Walkable southern Italian city in Calabria with a café-dense centre, a historic quarter — Cosenza vecchia — climbing toward the Pancrazio hill, and a scattering of churches throughout. The city's origins stretch back to at least the 8th century BC, and it later served as capital of the Bruttii people before Roman conquest. It hosts the Cosentian Academy, one of the oldest institutions of philosophical and literary study in Italy, alongside museums, theatres, and libraries, with vineyards and scenic viewpoints in the surrounding area.
