Basilicata<\/strong>, also known by its ancient name Lucania,<\/strong> is a region of Southern Italy enclosed between two seas with a rich artistic and historic heritage.<\/p>\n

There are many traditional feasts and events<\/strong>, lots of them dating back in centuries.Many are related to religious celabrations or to the patron saints of the cities, such as:
\n– the Stations of the Cross<\/a> in Barile<\/strong> which is held on Holy Friday in Easter.<\/span>
\n– the May Festival in Accettura,<\/strong> in the province of Matera, takes place on the occasion of the feast of the patron saint San Giuliano.
\n– the\u00a0 Madonna della Bruna Feast<\/a>, patron saint of the city of Matera<\/strong> which is celebrated every year on July 2nd<\/span>
\n– the Madonna del Monte Saraceno Feast<\/a> in Calvello,<\/strong> every year in May and in September<\/span><\/p>\n

Even here, although far from Venice, Carnival<\/strong> is very celebrated:
\n– \u201cThe Walking Forest\u201d<\/a>, the carnival in Satriano di Lucania<\/strong>, in the province of Potenza.
\n– The Carnival in Aliano<\/a> which is celebrated on Sunday and Shrove Tuesday in a small town in Basilicata and one of the “Authentic Villages of Italy.<\/p>\n
