Today in the National Museum of Reggio Calabria are kept, perhaps, the most vivid evidence of that era from all represented in the city - two well-preserved bronze statues of soldiers. They are called "Riace bronzes".The statues were found in the sea near the coast of Reggio Calabria. Largely due to these statues the National Museum of Reggio Calabria (Museo Nazionale di Reggio Calabria) is considered to be one of the key attractions in the region.
Aspromonte Mountain is another symbol of Reggio Calabria. It is located just outside the city. On its slopes today is located Aspromonte Nature Park. There is also located one of the southernmost mainland Italian ski resorts Gambari.

Symbol of Venice will be closed for reconstruction
The city authorities intend to reconstruct one of the major architectural symbols of Venice - Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal. For the last time Rialto was reconstructed more than 30 years ago and since then the increasing army of tourists didn’t add luster to the legendary attraction.
