Basilicata

Discover a land shaped by rugged landscapes and timeless traditions. Basilicata is home to Matera, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe. Its historic districts, known as the Sassi, are a remarkable network of cave dwellings carved into soft limestone, once used as homes, workshops, and places of worship. Dating back thousands of years, these settlements tell the story of a way of life deeply connected to the natural environment. Cycle through a region that remains largely untouched, where vast forests, quiet roads, and villages seemingly suspended in time define the landscape. Along the way, discover powerful red wines, aromatic local varieties, and a traditional cuisine rooted in pastoral and farming culture, rich in aged cheeses, dried vegetables, and spiced cured meats. Ride through history. Taste the soul of Basilicata.
