Cenadi (Greek: Genadioi) is a comune and town in the province of Catanzaro in the Calabria region of Italy.

Etymology

The town's name is derived from the Italian word for dinner, "cena". A legend claims that St.John the Evangelist was passing through the town on his way to Rome, and stopped for dinner. [citation needed] It is unknown if the latter had any affect on the former.
