Diamante

Overview

This historical fishermen's village is situated on a rock, safe from flooding, and - in ancient times - from pirates, too. Today, tourists capture the town instead - thousands of them in the summer, many from northern Italy, but also from other parts of Europe. By early September, most of them are gone - except for the "chileheads", that is. They're here for their event of the year, the Festival del Peperoncino .
