Archeologic Site Laos  
Italian Agriturismo
 
Orsomarso is a quiet little 
      town of the Calabrian hinterland surrounded by various most beautiful 
      natural sceneries. You can find Orsomarso in the Valley of the River 
      Argentino, in a picturesque and  impressive position among the woods, 
      under the rocky ridges of "Mount Timpone Simara". One of Orsomarso's most 
      visited areas is infact the River Argentino that captures any visitors' 
      attention enchanting them by the "tunnel" of trees and wild plants that 
      surrounds this Calabrian River, almost to protect its beauty. The 
      inhabitants of this village have worked out many different ways of living 
      using natures resources without mistreating them. They are well known for 
      producing local wine and cultivating wheat and vegetables, also for the 
      mysterious ways they use nature's herbs almost replacing the modern 
      medicines. Orsomarso is also one of the few towns of the North Tyrrhenian 
      Calabria that mine coal, and once also had a salt mine.

Visit the parish church named after St. John, that was built 
            right over the old structure of a medieval chapel. This church hosts 
            various frescoes, some painted by G.B.Colimodio and others situated 
            in the entrance hall by an unknown artist dating back to the 14th-15th 
            century. A 16th century parchment is situated in the vestry of the 
            church, representing the Holy Virgin and Child Jesus, John Baptist, 
            and two coat of arms. Whilst in St.Salvatore's Church you can 
            find a valuable copper plate carrying Nuremberg decorations and engravings 
            of the 15th century.
