Taurianova

Taurianova is a comune within the Province of Reggio Calabria inside the southern Italian place Calabria, located approximately 80 kilometres southwest of Catanzaro and about 40 kilometres northeast of Reggio Calabria. As of 31 December 2004, it had a populace of 15,933 and a place of 47.8 square kilometres. It turned into the web page of the Italic city of Tauriana, a former Catholic bishopric, which turned into nominally restored as titular see Tauriano. Taurianova borders the municipalities Cittanova, Molochio, Oppido Mamertina, Rizziconi, Terranova Sappo Minulio and Varapodio.

The municipality of Taurianova incorporates the frazioni San Martino, Amato, Pegara and Donna Livia. Taurianova is famous for hand-crafted nougat. It is a family of confections made with sugar or honey, roasted nuts, whipped egg whites, and from time to time chopped candied fruit. The consistency of nougat is chewy, and it's far used in a ramification of candy bars and chocolates. The phrase nougat comes from Occitan pan nogat, apparently from Latin panis nucatus 'nut bread'.
