context_page_description: Riace is a comune in the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria in the Italian region Calabria, located about 50 kilometres south of Catanzaro and about 80 kilometres northeast of Reggio Calabria. Riace borders the municipalities of Camini and Stignano.
  It is notable as the place where the Bronzi di Riace, bronze statues of warriors, were found in the sea in 1972. These Ancient Greek sculptures can be seen in the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia in Reggio Calabria.

As of January 2011, about 450 refugees from 20 countries had settled there among the 1,800 inhabitants, revitalising the village and preventing the closure of the village school. The mayor, Domenico Lucano, came second runner-up in the 2010 World Mayor competition. He was also listed by Fortune as one of the world's greatest leaders in 2016 featuring at number 40 in the magazine's listing.
