Zagarise

Zagarise (Albanian: Zagari) is an Arbëreshë[3] village and comune in the province of Catanzaro in the Calabria region of southern Italy.

The name of the settlement first appears in official documents in the 16th century, when the Arbereshe migrated to Italy.

Zagarise became an independent village during the early 19th century, when feudalism was abolished in the Kingdom of Naples.

Zagarise can be found 28 km north of Catanzaro in the Simeri river valley.

There is also a Norman Tower that was built by the Falluca family when they owned the fief of Zagarise.
