The Southern Italy / Basilicata region
The Basilicata is for sure one of the less known regions in the South of Italy and yet it is among the most interesting regions to visit.
It is divided into 2 Provinces, mostly mountainous, with two short coastlines on the Ionian and the Thyrrenian Sea. The Ionian coast and the Tyrrhenian are quite different; each with its own clearly marked individual character. The Ionian littoral is characterized by a wide sandy shore, stretching from the Apulian to the Calabrian borders and studded with small seaside resorts, like Lido di Metaponto (with its archaeological remains), Marina di Pisticci, Lido di Scanzano, Lido di Policoro; the latter, short but equally important, is a jagged rocky coastline behind which luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation flourishes while Maratea, with its charming outlying hamlets, is one of the most beautiful resorts of the south Tyrrhenian Sea.
The mountain scenery is arid and craggy. Try Francesco (12th century) decorated with excellent frescoes; Tricarico, of medieval appearance; Pisticci, with its characteristic rows of white houses; Tursi, in a panoramic position over the Sinni River valley, and the nearby solitary church of S. Maria d'Anglona. Least but not last is Matera itself with its “Sassi”, a piece of history not to miss!
In the Province of Potenza, a visit must be paid to Rivello, dominating the Noce River valley; Castel Lagopesole, at the foot of the imposing mansion built by Frederick II; Rapolla, with S. Lucia Church of Norman origin; Melfi, an interesting little town dominated by the Norman castle; Venosa, with the famous Abbey of the Trinità; Acerenza with its thirteenth-century cathedral.
Of great interest are the archaeological remains of Eraclea and Metaponto, on the Ionian coast, of Grumentum, on the shores of the Pietra del Pertusillo artificial lake and the ruins of the acropolis at Mount La Croccia (4th century BC.) near Oliveto Lucano - fascinating, as are the `Lucanian Dolomites'. The Pollino area, meanwhile, boasts a wealth of natural attractions and little lakes.
In the Province of Matera, places worth seeing are Montescaglioso, with its imposing medieval Abbey of S. Angelo; Miglionico, dominated by a Castle of Norman origin; Irsina, with the fine crypt of the Monastery of S.
