San Lorenzo Bellizzi

Welcome to San Lorenzo Bellizzi!

Hello everyone! Today I'll be telling you about San Lorenzo Bellizzi, a small Italian town located in the province of Cosenza in Calabria. If you love nature and tranquility, this post will surely interest you. Get ready to discover the beauties of this corner of paradise.

History of San Lorenzo Bellizzi

The original name of the town was Bellizzia from Castrum Bellitiae, the fiefdom of the ancient Bellizzi barons, who were the founders of the Chapel of San Lorenzo. In 1534, the entire area was enfeoffed by the Pignatelli marquises of Cerchiara. In the period immediately following the annexation of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies to the Kingdom of Italy, San Lorenzo became a meeting place for brigands. Interesting, don't you think?
