Explore Badolato, Catanzaro, Italy, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Badolato map and move it around to re-centre it, switch between the standard street map and satellite imagery, and use the zoom buttons to go from the whole province down to street-level detail.
This page also offers a second, independent map. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open OpenStreetMap coverage of the whole of Italy, with a labelled UTM grid drawn the way an IGM 1:25 000 sheet draws it, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS reading that reports your position in Gauss-Boaga and UTM as well as latitude and longitude. See How to Use This Map below. Local and world news, and the nearby places worth visiting, are further down the page.

La pagina offre anche una seconda carta indipendente. Il pulsante 🔍 Search Maps apre la copertura OpenStreetMap di tutta l'Italia, con la griglia UTM quotata come su una tavoletta IGM 1:25 000, lo strumento per misurare distanze e azimut, e la lettura GPS della posizione in Gauss-Boaga e UTM oltre che in latitudine e longitudine.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

SEARCH MAPS. The green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map opens a second, independent map on OpenStreetMap coverage of the whole country. Its search box finds any Italian comune, frazione, mountain or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Badolato.
Reading the map like an IGM sheet. Click Grid to lay a labelled UTM grid over the map, quoted along the edges the way a printed IGM 1:25 000 tavoletta quotes it — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so a six-figure reference can be read by eye and distance judged straight off the map. Click Measure and tap two points for the distance between them with the grid, true and magnetic bearings, the last being the one to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position for a single GPS fix. It marks where you are and reports it as Gauss-Boaga (the grid printed on the IGM Carta d'Italia), as ETRS89 / UTM (the grid Italy uses today), and as plain latitude and longitude, with a copy button so it can be pasted into a message. It takes one reading and stops, to save the battery. Map tiles need mobile coverage; a GPS reading does not — so the grid reference stays correct in the Apennines and the Alps, where the map itself often will not load.
Usa i pulsanti Map e Satellite per passare dalla carta stradale alla fotografia aerea, i pulsanti + e − per lo zoom, e trascina la mappa per spostarti. Il pulsante 🔍 Search Maps apre una seconda carta su OpenStreetMap con la ricerca di qualsiasi comune, frazione o cima d'Italia, la griglia UTM quotata come su una tavoletta IGM 1:25 000, la misura di distanze e azimut (di griglia, vero e magnetico) e la lettura GPS della posizione in Gauss-Boaga, in ETRS89/UTM e in coordinate geografiche. Le tessere della mappa richiedono la rete mobile, la lettura GPS no: il riferimento resta valido anche dove la carta non si carica.

Badolato sits within a landscape defined by the shifting light of the Ionian shore and the rugged terrain of the Calabrian interior. Monte Manna rises directly within the comune, while the paths of the Torrente Ponzo and Torrente Gallipari carve quiet, stony veins through the earth. Nearby, the land rises toward the heights of Timpone Vellina, offering a view of a countryside where the air carries a sharp, dry clarity. This is a place of ridges and valleys, where the proximity of the sea is felt in the winds that brush against the slopes of Contrada Lia.
Beyond the immediate village, the surroundings reveal sites that mark the history of the region. The Torre Sant'Antonio stands as a solitary sentinel along the water, watching over the shifting tide. Further inland, the Monastero di San Giovanni Theristis offers a quiet retreat among the hills, while the Museo Antica Kaulon preserves fragments of a distant, grounded past. Visitors may also find the Castello di Monasterace, which commands a presence over the landscape, grounding the wanderer in the physical reality of the earth and the stone that define this part of Calabria.
Badolato si estende in un territorio dove la luce riflette il riverbero del mare e la solidità della terra calabrese. Il Monte Manna si erge nel cuore del comune, mentre il corso del Torrente Ponzo e quello del Torrente Gallipari disegnano solchi naturali tra le rocce e la vegetazione. Verso l'interno, il profilo del Timpone Vellina domina l'orizzonte, in un paesaggio segnato dalla vicinanza di Contrada Lia e dalla quiete delle valli circostanti. L'aria qui conserva una qualità asciutta, che modella il carattere di un luogo dove la pietra e il cielo si incontrano in un equilibrio costante.
Nei dintorni, il visitatore incontra testimonianze che ancorano il territorio alla sua natura più profonda. La Torre Sant'Antonio si staglia lungo la costa, osservando il movimento incessante delle onde, mentre il Monastero di San Giovanni Theristis si offre come un rifugio silenzioso tra le alture. Più lontano, il Museo Antica Kaulon custodisce la memoria di epoche remote, e il Castello di Monasterace resta a sorvegliare il paesaggio, ricordando a chi attraversa queste terre la resistenza silenziosa delle architetture di un tempo.

Explore Badolato, Catanzaro, Italy, with an embedded Google street and satellite map — switch between the two with the buttons on the map. Coordinates: 38.57479, 16.56775. Place names, the comune and provincia hierarchy and the population come from Istat: the administrative boundaries of 1 January 2026 and the 2021 census of inhabited localities. Local and world news feeds keep the page current, and the bilingual description is written from the data this site holds rather than copied from elsewhere. The 30 nearby places listed above are drawn from OpenStreetMap, the IGM toponym database and a curated list checked against Wikipedia.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Italian comune, frazione, mountain or landmark by name; overlays a labelled UTM grid quoted the way a printed IGM 1:25 000 tavoletta quotes it; measures distance with grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a Gauss-Boaga reference, as ETRS89 / UTM, and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference stays correct where the map cannot load.
There is no topographic layer on these pages. The Istituto Geografico Militare serves its Carta d'Italia only inside the EU, so an Italian equivalent of the 1:25 000 walking sheet cannot be shown here — the UTM grid over OpenStreetMap is what stands in its place.
Carta interattiva di Badolato, Catanzaro, con veduta stradale e satellitare. Toponimi, gerarchia comune/provincia e popolazione provengono dall'Istat: confini amministrativi al 1° gennaio 2026 e censimento 2021 delle località abitate. Il pulsante Search Maps apre una seconda carta su OpenStreetMap con ricerca per nome, griglia UTM quotata come su una tavoletta IGM 1:25 000, misura di distanze e azimut, e lettura GPS in Gauss-Boaga, ETRS89/UTM e coordinate geografiche. Non è presente un livello topografico: l'IGM distribuisce la Carta d'Italia solo all'interno dell'Unione Europea.
