San Fili to host conference on Paola-Cosenza railway development

The municipality of San Fili will host a high-level institutional and technical conference titled ‘Paola-Cosenza: a railway for the future. Perspectives and strategies for territorial development’ on October 28, 2026. The event, held at the Teatro Comunale ‘F. Gambaro’, aims to discuss the strategic importance of the Paola-Cosenza railway line for the Calabria region.

Organized by the administration led by Mayor Linda Cribari in partnership with SVIMAR (Association for the Development of the Mezzogiorno and Internal Areas), the initiative focuses on using rail infrastructure to combat depopulation, improve service accessibility, and boost tourism and economic growth. The discussions will explore how enhancing these connections can foster more balanced and sustainable territorial development while reducing the isolation of internal areas in Southern Italy.
