Comprising the "toe" of the boot-shaped Italian Peninsula, the Aspromonte massif dominates the western part of the metropolitan city's territory: with its long coastline, it is a popular tourist destination during the summer.
The Metropolitan City was created by the reform of local authorities (Law 142/1990), and then established by the Law 56/2014.[3]
The Metropolitan City is headed by the Metropolitan Mayor (sindaco metropolitano) and the Metropolitan Council (consiglio metropolitano).
