In recent days, we have extensively explored the Basilicata region, particularly the towns of San Paolo Albanese, Montemurro, Irsina, Aliano, and Colobraro. Here, we will establish our “Roots” workshops to welcome our Italian descendants, Lucanians around the world, and all those fascinated by memory, traditions, and the “scents” that make you feel at home!

We have visited beautiful towns, rich in places where you can discover the beauty of living in a small town, where you can rediscover your roots.

An elderly lady leans out of her door to tell us that she was present at Carlo Levi’s funeral in Aliano and that the whole town was there. Carlo Levi seems to be still there among them, and you can feel it. Young people liven up the museums and libraries and tell you with competence and cheerfulness that nothing is over and life continues, even in small towns.

In these towns, you will find the art of New York, the art of the great masters of the past, and the art of Lucanian artisans, all coexisting without dominating each other.

In these towns, you will find the soul of the Turin-born Levi who rests here, the Arbereshe soul that lives here, the faces of our ancestors who still speak today, told by photographers and scholars.

Coming to visit and rediscover your memories is not just an exercise in nostalgia but an act of civilization. It is to rediscover the thread that continues to weave stories, stories that look ahead and do not unravel to go back.

Come to Basilicata, we are ready to experience unique situations with you, who have left, with us here!
