    TERRITORY: strengths and constraints 

    The City of Lauria, on which operates the Comprehensive School "Lentini", you can define mountain. The population of about 14,800 inhabitants, is spread over an area of 18,000 hectares. Slightly more than half of residents are located in two large wards, the rest is divided into small rural towns, distant from urban centers and, sometimes, far from each other. Almost all rural settlements are located at a height, with respect to the sea level above 800 m, so often, during the winter, heavy snowfalls disrupting road links with the "center". The journey times, for pupils commuters, vary from a minimum of 20 minutes to a maximum of 45 minutes. The road connections are made up of local roads and only a few strokes affecting the SS 19 and SS 104.
