It., a town of Naples, in the province of Calabria Ultra II., stands on the Gulf of St Eufemia, 6 miles N.N.E. of Monteleone. It has a small harbour, and some coasting trade, in which, and in fishing, the inhabitants are mostly employed. It was at Pizzo that Murat, the ex-King of Naples, landed with a few followers, October 8, 1815, with the view of recovering his kingdom. He was immediately taken prisoner, and shot in the Castle of Pizzo on the 13th. His remains lie in the middle aisle of the church, which was erected partly by his own liberality. Pop. 5700.
