'''Crotone''' ({{IPAc-en|k|r|oʊ|ˈ|t|oʊ|n|eɪ|,_|k|r|ə|ˈ|-}}; {{IPA|it|kroˈtoːne|lang|It-Crotone.ogg}}; {{langx|nap|label=[[Central-Southern Calabrian|Crotonese]]|Cutrone}} or {{lang|scn|Cutruni}}) is a city and ''[[comune]]'' in [[Calabria]], Italy. 

Founded {{circa|710&nbsp;BC}} as the [[Achaea (ancient region)|Achaean]] colony of '''Kroton''' ({{langx|grc|Κρότων}} or {{lang|grc|Ϙρότων}}; {{langx|la|Crotona}}), it became a great Greek city, home of the renowned mathematician-philosopher [[Pythagoras]] amongst other famous citizens, and one of the most important centres of [[Magna Graecia]]. 

It was known as '''Cotrone''' from the [[Middle Ages]] until 1928, when its name was changed to the current one. In 1992, it became the capital of the newly established [[Province of Crotone]].
