The population of Rossano is just 36,598, so don't expect big-city amenities. This sleepy southern Italian town is known for its marble and alabaster quarries, but bureaucracy is a persistent headache. The cathedral and Byzantine architecture are impressive, but the economy has struggled since the 19th century. Rossano may appeal to history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts, but for most, the charms of this provincial outpost won't outweigh the hassles.
