Platì
Platì ((ギリシア語:Platy, ''large'')) is a town and ''comune'' (municipality) in the province of Reggio Calabria, in Calabria, southern Italy. It rises above sea level on the slope of the Aspromonte mountains and is located next to the Aspromonte National Park. The town is well known for its bread.
==History==
Platì was founded in 1505 when Ferdinand II of Aragon granted the fief Platì and Santa Barbara to Carlo Spinelli, prince of Cariati. The small hamlet that was set up was named Platì in 1704. The area was apparently populated by ex-convicts from the prison of Reggio Calabria as a kind of penal colony. The population was mainly employed in sheep husbandry.〔 (Un pò di storia ), Istituto Comprensivo di Platì. ''Retrieved January 16, 2010''.〕
An earthquake on February 5, 1783, partially destroyed the town, killing 25 people. The area is prone to floods and landslides and was hit in 1848, 1861, 1870, 1908, 1951, 1953, 1958, 1972 and 1973.〔
On October 16–18, 1951, the town was hit by a floods from the Careri river and landslides, partially destroying the town and leaving 18 people dead. Many people decided to leave and headed north to Turin and Milan or emigrated, in particular to Australia. In 1953 an 1958 the town was hit again by floods.〔(The use of historical data for the characterisation of multiple damaging hydrogeological events ), Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (2003) 3: 17–30〕〔 (Proposta di legge 107 )〕 Many of the migrants to Australia ended up in Griffith, New South Wales and made the area into an important wine producing region.〔 (Australia, il miracolo dei calabro-veneti ), Corriere della Sera, February 9, 2001〕
