Capo Vaticano is a wide bathing place in the Municipality of Ricadi in Calabria, Italy.

The famous Venetian writer Giuseppe Berto made Capo Vaticano his home, after travelling throughout Italy.

"Capo Vaticano", he wrote, "is called Vatican as a Roman hill: once priests and fortune tellers searched for the future basing their predictions on birds' flights.

200 metres over the Cape there is a rock called Mantineo and in ancient Greek, it means: to communicate with God.

Capo Vaticano is considered the ideal place to have a climate suitable for growing the Red onions of Tropea.
