CITTA' DI COSENZA
COSENZA The extraordinary beauties of an
undiscovered City.
2
The whole of Cosenza can be seen at a glance.
The town is built on a steep hill, above the
point where the two rivers, flowing from opposite
valleys, merge under a single name the Crati. We
passed over a bridge that spans the united waters
and entered a steep lane between houses that are
so tall and closely packed as to block out even
the brightest sun. This is how, in 1897, the
English Victorian writer George Gissing described
Cosenza. And he added Cosenza has such
interesting and wonderful features as to tempt
you to wander all day. It would be inadequate to
call it picturesque at every step, from the
beginning of the main road at the foot of the
hill to the severe medieval castle that crowns
it, there is something to wonder at and admire.
