Catanzaro is the city of the three V's. One of those is the city's patron, San Vitaliano. He was the bishop of Capua but his relics were transferred to Catanzaro in 1122. A chapel in the cathedral holds this silver reliquary. His feast day is July 16.
Here's a short with a bit of the procession. You even get a taste of one of the other V's -- vento, the winds of Catanzaro!

Another museum in #Catanzaro worth visiting is the Museo del Rock which celebrates 20th century music. Over 10,000 vinyl records, posters, and magazines from a private collection are on display. And lots of live music! #VirtualTravel
