Around Stilo, a southern Italy village
In a vast, fascinating and uncontaminated forested landscape.
The Mangiatorella springs is located in southern Italy, in the pristine woods of Stilo, an ancient village full of monuments, churches, fountains, museums, whose ancient origins date back to the greek period.
The history of Stilo is distinguished by a succession of rulers, the Byzantine and Norman before others, whose traces are still well visible. The Cathedral of the ninth century, called Cattolica, its an outstanding example of Byzantine art and architecture. The Cathedral offers a breathtaking panorama, ranging from the rooftops of the village, leading to the sea. Dominating the valley is the imposing Norman castle, also famous for being the birthplace of Tommaso Campanella, a great Italian philosopher.
In a absolutely unspoilt environment
Mangiatorella forth at 1200 mt above the sea level, in the absolutely unspoilt environment of the Serre Calabresi Park.
In this lush area nature does not show any chemical or microbiological contamination, or that caused by human settlement, as testified by the content of nitrates in the Mangiatorella Mineral Water, which is practically zero.
Where King Ferdinand II went hunting
The immense park in which Mangiatorella resides hosts the ‘Ferdinandea’, a stupendous mountain area that owes its name to the Bourbon, Ferdinand II, who loved to hunt in its woodland and who had a villa built there, and where later were inaugurated a railway, a barracks, a series of buildings, stables and barns.
