History

Delianuova was founded on January 27, 1878 by an order of King Umberto I to amalgamate the two neighboring municipalities of Paracorio and Pedavoli. Tradition has it that Paracorio descended from the ancient Delia, a Greek city in southern Ionian coast, destroyed by the Saracens in the ninth century. Paracorio was known as Perachorio (Περαχώριον), which in Greek means "the land beyond the mountains"; Pedavoli was known in antiquity as Dapidalbon (Δαρίδαλβον) probably Tyrrhenian origin.

'Ndrangheta

Over the years, Delianuova has been repeatedly connected with the 'Ndrangheta, both within Italy and abroad. Prominent international examples include the Musitano crime family and Johnny Papalia both from Hamilton, Ontario in Canada, and several prominent underworld figures from Melbourne, Australia. In 2008, Angelo Macrì murdered rival crime figure Rocco Frisina in a central street of Delianuova. Though the murder would have been seen by many people, all denied witnessing the event. [3]
