Archeologic Site Laos
Italian Agriturismo
Orsomarso is a quiet little
town of the Calabrian hinterland surrounded by various most beautiful
natural sceneries. You can find Orsomarso in the Valley of the River
Argentino, in a picturesque and impressive position among the woods,
under the rocky ridges of "Mount Timpone Simara". One of Orsomarso's most
visited areas is infact the River Argentino that captures any visitors'
attention enchanting them by the "tunnel" of trees and wild plants that
surrounds this Calabrian River, almost to protect its beauty. The
inhabitants of this village have worked out many different ways of living
using natures resources without mistreating them. They are well known for
producing local wine and cultivating wheat and vegetables, also for the
mysterious ways they use nature's herbs almost replacing the modern
medicines. Orsomarso is also one of the few towns of the North Tyrrhenian
Calabria that mine coal, and once also had a salt mine.
