Thanks to its strategic geographical position in the Mediterranean Sea, situated on two seas, Ionian and Thyrhenian, and crossed from once navigable rivers rising through the valleys into the heart of the ancient Lucania up to the Tyrrhenian and Etruscan Campania, the Basilicata Region has always been a land of conflict, but also a meeting point of civilizations, of which fascinating tracks still remain.

Numerous and different from each other are the populations who have travelled along the roads of the region: the audacious Likys people, the Enotrians, the refined Greeks, the intrepid Sannites, the skillful Romans, followed by the Barbarians, the Byzantines, the Normans, the Germans, the Angevines, the Saracens, the Albanians, the Spanish people, the French people up to the Modern Age.
