On 14 October 2026, the thirtieth anniversary of the flood that hit Crotone in 1996 will be commemorated, when the sudden fury of the Esaro river turned the historic districts into a stretch of mud and caused the death of six people: Paolo, Angela, Luca, Michela, Luca and Bruno. The community gathers to remember the victims and pay tribute to their families, with a moment of collective reflection that keeps alive the memory of an event that deeply marked the city. The anniversary is also an opportunity to renew the call for the establishment of a city Day of Remembrance, so that the memory is passed on to new generations.
