Resources
The economy is based on agriculture: fruits, olives, cereals, grapes. Good fishing activity.
Historical Roots of Gizzeria, some scholars say, are from an ancient Greek colony called or ize ize, then absorbed by the Basilian monastery of St. Nicholas Latinized in the eleventh century by the Benedictines of S. Eufemia. Indeed, the marine
occasionally return archaeological and burial of human settlements, and prehistoric. The territory of
Gizzeria through archaeological finds, has many examples of Italian and Greek settlements in antiquity. Secono XI, there was a settlement around the Byzantine monastery of St. Nicholas of which we know very little.
The foundation is officially recognized in 1450 and then some, by arbëreshë settlers, from Albania in several waves.
The country was soon given, together with the area of \u200b\u200bNocera Terinese, the fief of Santa Eufemia ruled by the Knights of Malta who operated a Romanization of the country whose inhabitants abandoned the Albanian language and the Orthodox rite, held in a hundred other arbëreshë of Southern Italy.
Bourbon era were limited ecclesiastical privileges, and toward the beginning of the nineteenth century was abolished feudalism. We saw, in this way, the rise of a middle class social area: the galantomini.
Many villagers participated in the liberal movements, among which is to be quoted Alessandro Toia, one of the participants in the Expedition of the Thousand and after the unification of Italy were numerous incidents of brigandage.
the late nineteenth century, the scarcity of resources and population growth led to the beginning of a large-scale emigration that continues in some way today, and the urbanization of a large proportion of the population who went to live at Nicastro, Lamezia Terme today.
