Basilicata — also called Lucania, on the arch of Italy's boot. For two centuries the story was emigration; now people are choosing to come back. Stay in a 16th-century masseria, knead Pane di Matera with hands that have done it for generations, walk the streets of the ghost town of Craco.
Reconnect with your roots in Basilicata, through the eyes of Adele Newton, whose family emigrated from Pisticci to Canada. Stay at a restored 16th-century farmhouse, walk the ghost town of Craco, make bread in Matera, and taste Aglianico del Vulture.
Join us in October for a special tour centered on Craco and the Festival of San Vincenzo, the patron saint of Craco. Walk the streets of the ghost town and celebrate with the Crachesi diaspora.
We’d love to hear from you
