The Isthmus of Catanzaro or Isthmus of Marcellinara , also called Saddle of Catanzaro or Saddle of Marcellinara due to its morphology is the narrow strip of land separating the Ionian Sea from the Tyrrhenian Sea , and is also the narrowest part of the Italian Peninsula . Characteristics The Isthmus is approximately 30 kilometres long and is situated in the lowlands between the south end of the Calabrian Apennine Mountains and the northern part of the Serre Calabresi Calabrian Serre . The valley between the two mountain ranges is approximately 2 kilometres wide in its narrowest point, and it opens wide to form the Piana di Sant Eufemia on the west side, and the valley of Corace to the east, reaching the seas at both sides. South of Marcellinara is the Sella di Marcellinara Saddle of Marcellinara , the lowest and narrowest point of the Calabrian Apennine, at an height of 250 metres ca. From the high grounds of the Calabrian Apennine, in the towns of Tiriolo , Marcellinara and Catanzaro , it is possible to have a panoramic view of the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas at the same time. The Itshmus is crossed by two seasonal rivers the Amato and the Corace. Both have their springs from the Plateau of Sila and, after running parallel, separated by about two kilometres, they separate near the hills of Gimigliano. The Amato descends the valley westwards, ending its run in Tyrrhenian Sea, whereas the Corace goes eastwards to the Ionian Sea. History According to classical accounts, during the Rebellion of the Slaves guided by Spartacus, general Marcus Licinius Crassus decided to fortify the Isthmus by mean of a wall, in order to block their offensive and cut supplies. During fascism, the construction of a channel to connect the Ionian to the Tyrrhenian has been advanced several times. Category Province of Catanzaro it Istmo di Catanzaro ... more details

otheruses Nicaea disambiguation Nicaea was wife of Alexander of Corinth Alexander , tyrant of Corinth during the reign of Antigonus Gonatas . After the death of her husband, who was thought to have been poisoned by the command of Gonatas, Nicaea retained possession of the important fortress of Corinth but Antigonus lulled her into security by offering her the hand of his son Demetrius II of Macedon Demetrius in marriage, and took the opportunity during the nuptial festivities to surprise the citadel. She is probably the same person mentioned by Sudas s.v. Euphorion as patronising the poet Euphorion of Chalcis , though that author calls her husband ruler of Euboea , instead of Corinth.
