DISCOVERING FINLANDTHE LAND OF LAKESFinland is 8th largest country in Europe after Russia, Ukraine, France, Spain, Sweden, Norway and Germany. Of this, 10% is water and 69% forest - there are 188,000 lakes in Finland, and 98,050 islands on those lakes.
Finland has land borders with three countries; with Sweden (614km), with Norway (736km), and with Russia (1,340km).
Finland is home to 5.4 million people, making it the most sparsely populated country in the European Union. The largest archipelago in Europe lies off the southwest coast, and the Åland Islands, an autonomous Swedish-speaking province of Finland, are part of this archipelago.
Weather in FinlandFinland is a land of extremes. In 2010, for example, the highest temperature was 37.2ºC (99ºF), and the lowest temperature was -41.3ºC (-42ºF).

Finland is famous for being the land of the Midnight Sun. In Lapland a single summer day can last over two months. Winter is conversely dark and cold, and the mean temperature remains below 0°C.
Permanent snow falls about two weeks after winter begins, and is deepest around mid-March, with an average of 60 to 90cm in eastern and northern Finland, and 20 to 30cm in southwestern Finland.

The Northern LightsOne of the great attractions of Finland is the chance to experience the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, and every year thousands of visitors come here to see them.
Finnish Lapland is the perfect destination in summer for trekkers, hikers, and even cyclists who want to get away from it all, to spend time alone exploring a landscape that is ever changing.
Santa ClausTourists from all corners of the earth flock to the village of Napapiiri, just outside the Lapland capital of Rovaniemi, just to meet the great man, in the adorable Santa Claus Village.
Our Capital- HelsinkiA modern city featuring some of the most distinctive architecture in the world, both old and new, Helsinki is one of the cultural hot spots of Northern Europe.
Its combination of bustling, busy market places, of seaside parks, bars, cafés, and restaurants, its variety of museums and galleries, outdoor music festivals and concerts

Our Region is a peninsula with about 800 kms of coast.In our logo you can see the blue of the sea around our emblem which shows a column that reminds us of Magna Graecia and the “Pino loricato”, a rare species of tree you can find on our mountains.

Cerisano, Marano Marchesato e Marano Principato are close to each other and about 10 kms far from Cosenza, whose district they are part. They are situated on the “Serre”, some mountains around Cosenza, at about 30 kms far from the Tyrrhenian coast. Their old town centres consist of picturesque alleys with ancient churches and buildings.

is the ancient capital of the Brettii (IV BC); during the Roman Empire, it was an important stop on the Popilia Road, linking Rome to Sicily.
COSENZA
The old inner city – with its Norman Castle, the Cathedral, the narrow streets, the ancient buildings, the churches and the
cloisters - is an interesting example of a Medieval town.
Alaric, king of the Visigoths, died here in AD 412. History tells us he was buried with his horse
and his treasure into the bed of the Busento River.
55
The Cosenza’s “Duomo” is a fascinating example of Romanesque architecture.
This Cathedral is now “Patrimony witness of peace and culture”
protected by UNESCO. It was unvelied by the Holy Roman
Emperor Frederick II in 1222.
In that occasion, the emperor gave the city
of Cosenza the “stauroteca”, a golden
cross with precious stones. It keeps a relic,
a piece of the Jesus’ cross.

OUR
REGION
CALABRIA Mountains between two seas
60
Calabria was inhabited since Palaeolithic times. In the
province of Cosenza there’s a cave where you can see a
graffito representing an ox made about 11.000 years ago. The Oenotrians were an ancient population who settled in the
Cosenza surroundings. A legendary king of them was
Italus, so that they were called Italics and their land Italia; later,
when the Romans united the various regions into a whole, this name identified the entire Italian
Peninsula. So our land gave the name to
our nation!
Bos primigenius graffito
Above you can see the name “Italia” on the Calabrian territory
61
The Greeks founded colonies during the VIII century BC which soon became so rich and powerful that the entire Calabria became known as “Magna Graecia”.
Numerous populations and cultures have arrived in Calabria from the Mediterranean Area for centuries

62
After Roman domination so many people came and occupied Calabria! Byzantines, Saracens, Normans, Longobards, Goths, Arabs… So our culture became richer and our attitude outgoing and open to
the new: we are people and a land of contrasts!
Norman Castle, Cosenza
63
CODEX PURPUREUS - Rossano (CS) - a great example of miniature
Byzantin art.
We have places whose names remind us of these people: e.g. the town Longobardi (CS) or the
territory in province of Cosenza called Librandi from the name Liutprando, the ancient
Longobardi’s king.
THE SARACEN TOWER - San Nicola Arcella (CS)
64
In Calabria there are some important ethnic-linguistic minorities, in particular Albanian and Waldensian ones, which speak their ancient
languages and still have their traditions
From XV to XVIII century lots of Albanians left their country and came to the Cosenza area, where still now there are some towns who live following that culture.
In the XVI century a Waldensian community came from South-France to Calabria because of religious reasons, settling on a hill facing the sea near Cosenza.
