Umbriatico

Umbriatico is a comune and town in the province of Crotone, in Calabria, southern Italy.

During the Second Punic War it had a defensive wall, but this did not prevent the Romans from storming it and massacring the population.

During the Middle Ages Umbriatico was the seat of a bishopric, which was abolished as a residential see in 1818 and brought into use as a titular diocese of the Catholic Church in 1969.

The town is now a small agricultural and livestock-breeding centre.
