Figure 1. The Calabria region, is a mountainous peninsula located at the southern tip
of the Italy, elongated 300km in the north-south direction in the Central
Mediterranean Basin. The experimental site ISAC-CRATI is located at about 300 m
from the coastline at the west end of the only sea-to-sea valley around 30 km wide
(the narrowest part of the region along West-East direction.
