History

Canolo was believed to be founded in the Byzantine Era by survivors of an attack on Gerace in 952 by the Arabs, but is believed to have been populated long before them after human remains and tools dating as far back as the Neolithic period have been found in the area. During the Bourbon period, surrounding mountains were mined for their deposits of lignite, antimony, barium, and chalk.[2]
