The town, whose name in dialect means 'cliff', is situated on a high promontory overlooking the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Pizzo, a fishing town whose fish find their way to the menus of many famous restaurants throughout Italy, was built on the ruins of Napitia, a colony of an ancient tribal group, the Focesis.  It has a long, illustrious history. According to local lore, Cicerone visited and St. Peter stopped on his journey to Rome. The historical centre of Pizzo is characterized by narrow lanes and streets with many interconnecting stairways.  At the intersection of many of these lanes and streets, one finds several squares, some with fountains.  There are numerous palazzi (mansions) once owned by rich merchants and other members of the higher classes, with interesting architectural detail. Pizzo is fast becoming an ever popular tourist resort town thanks to its mild, sunny climate and to the stunning coastline, where there are many attractions and activities for locals and travellers alike.  Many of these can be better appreciated as you lick the Tartufo gelato for which the town is justifiably famous.  At lunch or dinner try a glass (or two!) of the local wine, know as 'Zibibbo'.
