  2. “The whole of Cosenza can be seen at a glance. The town is built on a steep hill, above the point where the two rivers, flowing from opposite valleys, merge under a single name: the Crati. We passed over a bridge that spans the united waters and entered a steep lane between houses that are so tall and closely packed as to block out even the brightest sun”. And he added: “Cosenza has such interesting and wonderful features as to tempt you to wander all day. It would be inadequate to call it picturesque; at every step, from the beginning of the main road at the foot of the hill to the severe medieval castle that crowns it, there is something to wonder at and admire”. This is how, in 1897, the English Victorian writer George Gissing described Cosenza.
