Based on archeological findings, the first settlements in the Maratea region date back to the Paleolithic era. Over time, the region grew as a small trading center under Roman rule. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the local inhabitants moved to Mount San Biagio for safety. The remains of Saint Blaise are still kept in Maratea's Basilica. The town expanded with the founding of the Borgo in the 11th-12th century for a growing population. Maratea entered a period of progress in the 18th century, though it struggled with poverty later on until investments and tourism improved its economy in the 1950s.Italian flag - 48属Circolo Ddattico "Madre Claudia Russo", Napoli, Italy

The first Slav tribes settled there in the 12th century. Its first state was Doclea, later called Zeta. Since the end of the 12th century Kotor was in power of the members of the Nemanjic Dynasty until 1420 when the Republic of Venice occupied it and stayed there until 1797, the time of the Napoleon wars in Europe.

For its unique mixture of different cultures, Kotor entered the list of the world cultural heritage under the protection of the UNESCO. In the past, the most developed industry in this area was trade and maritime affairs. Seafarers used to bring different products from overseas which they would exchange for the goods they were in need of. In that way Kotor became one of the most important trading centers in this part of the Adriatic coast.
