There is a new air in Reggio Calabria. The credit, without a doubt, goes to the long-awaited novelty of the Ryanair flights departing – and arriving – from Tito Minniti.
A airportthat of the Strait, which has remained silent for too long and which now needs redemption. This is demonstrated by the first flights, sold out, for both national and international routes.
However, these are not enough to revive the city.
The 1st (bittersweet) weekend as a tourist city
This week, more than ever, Reggio Calabria should have been ready to welcome travelers arriving from Barcelona, Berlin, Manchester, Marseille And Tirana.
Put to the test, after decades of words about “Reggio tourist city“, he failed his exam.
