Lady A Crew visits a Ghost Town

While in Reggio Calabria we took a trip with Aida's Mother and Grandmother to the Pentedattilo il luogo dei cique parchi (the sight of the five parks). The village of Pentedattilo (from the Greek pente - dactylos=five fingers). Origins of the village are uncertain but it is known that in 1283 it belonged to the Archimandrite of the church of SS Salvatore di Messina and was sold to the nobleman Monello Simone in 1589. Popular legend tells of the dark tragedy of murder thus the legend of ghosts. All in all a great day trip from Reggio.
