The Tonnara beach and the Olive Tree Rock in Palmi, Calabria, Italy
The Tonnara beach in Palmi owes its name to the ancient tuna fishery that stood there in the 20th century. It is one of the most beautiful in Calabria, at the foot of Monte Sant'Elia, along the so-called Costa Viola.
This beach is famous for its Olive Tree Rock, also known as l'ulivarella, which is so called because of an olive tree that stands on top of it and, according to botanists, is more than 400 years old and grew there spontaneously.

The world’s first printed book in Hebrew was Rashi’s commentary on the Bible, printed by Abraham ben Gart in Reggio di Calabria, Italy, in 1475.
Unfortunately, very little is known about the personal life of Abraham ben Garton. Most scholars believe he was born in Spain, and emigrated to Southern Italy's Calabria prior to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. Many other Spanish Sephardim also emigrated to Calabria following the expulsion.

The 1475 edition Abraham Garton created and employed, for the first time, a typeface based on a Sephardic semicursive hand. It was this same style of typeface that a few years later, when commentary and text were incorporated onto one page, would be used to distinguish Rabbinic commentary from the text proper. Ultimately, this typeface would be known as Rashi script.
