(English: The Tree of Liberty)
Through the activities of the arch-brigand Panedigrano, who was a privileged

French rule in Calabria, bloodied by the genocide of brigandage.

PLATANIA
(English: Platania)
This study depicts
key moments in the three centuries from 1686 down to the present of this pleasant

into centuries of slow emancipation, of redemption, and of social and cultural
advancement.
