    "Ba-Ba Basilicata, what do you know about it? Have you ever seen it? Basilicata is on my mind." This verse encapsulates the essence of Basilicata: you cannot understand what it is and what it holds unless you visit it. Land of brigands and wilderness and delicious food.... Basilicata is not to be understood, it is to be experienced.
    I want to present it to you through my eyes and heart: the eyes and heart of a Lucana DOC who loves her land and continues to marvel at its beauty every day. This itinerary is full of history and legends, nature and adventure, good food and impeccable hospitality.
    Let yourself be enveloped in the Lucanian rhythm and slow down.... Look around and admire how much beauty there is.. Are you ready to leave with me?

    Basilicata from Border Country to Great Tourist Destination

    Basilicata was used about 90 years ago as a land to send revolutionary/anti-fascist people into exile: it was a punishment reserved for rebels, a way to make them repent... Today, however, it has become a popular destination for adventure and Nature lovers thanks to its great attractions, first and foremost the Flight of the Angel. Would you like to discover its history through the various stages I have chosen for you?

    Land of Conquest that has survived and reinvented itself

    Basilicata tells of its glorious past through its uniqueness. Land of conquest by the Byzantines, the Swabians, the Normans, the French, the Spanish, the Bourbons and even the Briganti... Basilicata has survived and all the marks that these peoples left behind are still evident today.
