The municipal administration of Reggio Calabria has launched the initiative in recent days: the first edition of the competition “Balconies in bloom” 2024. The objective is to make the city’s balconies increasingly colorful and well-kept, so as to also be able to give a positive signal of welcome to the numerous tourists who will arrive on the Strait between now and the next summer months.

«The flower is the symbol of value, of nobility of soul, but also of rebirth. The flower is the emblem of something that is born, grows and evolves, to the extent that there is a commitment to taking care of it”, reads the note with which the municipal administration of Reggio Calabria promotes the competition. The hope now is that every “citizen, through his flowered balcony, will give a signal of care, attention and beauty towards the city”.
The competition also has another purpose: it will be an opportunity to highlight the importance of caring for greenery, but also of environmental sustainability, a topic that is still often underestimated today. The competition is open to all citizens of Reggio Calabria, to those who are domiciled there or who have a rented home in the Reggio area. Participation will be free and open.
