The museum boasts over 3,000 objects that provide insight into the Neapolitan artistic heritage from the 15th to the 19th century.
A small museum in historical center of Napoli. The building and the interiors are magnificent. The library is very nice. Definitively worth visiting
Mariia S — Google review
An incredible museum in the center of Napoli, the exhibits was extraordinary with chunese armours and weapons, the paids was so excited, the woman in the reception was so helpful and sweet.O definitely recommend it. The photos in interest doesn't represent the beauty of this museum.
Fotini P — Google review
one star because finding the door closed when the museum is declared open (Google & museum website) can no longer happen today. The museum was privatized to shoot a video, which is great. But the public should have been warned. The communications officer did not do his job. We lost an afternoon because we were supposed to end the week in Naples with this visit.

Great little museum! It won't take long to see everything but it's cheap and interesting. There was a woman inside (I think hed name was Chiara?) who was so knowledgeable and escorted us around telling us about all the individual artworks. She was incredible!
Brad M — Google review
Excellent museum, amazing pieces but a lack of staff and facilities. The museum has a collection of all life pieces of Gaetano filangieri, cherry on top of the cake is his office with letter written back and forth to the United States and Benjamin Franklin himself. On top of that extravagant pieces from all over the world, as expected by an art collector and a man of taste. Less impressed by a lack of staff, any international writing to help tourists and bad kept toilets. I'm also astonished by a room full of computers and loose electrical wires just behind the Filangieri's desk. Does health and safety ring a bell in a such humid and hot weather? As an italian myself and from Napoli, I'm proud of this museum, but we can do better. Hopefully at my next visit something will be done.
Antonello M — Google review
Benjamin Franklin asked Gaetano Filangieri (Neapolitan Jurist) for help in writing the American Constitution. The manuscript draft of the American constitution Is stored in this marvellous Museum, together with the correspondence between the two. True Neapolitan pride, a visit Is highly recommended

With its magnificent vaulted ceilings adorned with exquisite artwork and an impressive facade, it captures the attention of all who visit. Located in Piazza Bartolo, this spiritual hub also features a small museum dedicated to Bartolo Longo and offers access to a bell tower that provides breathtaking panoramic views of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius.
I went on a 13-day pilgrimage to Italy with the priest of the Rosary Church in Hong Kong. On 8/5/2025, the 150th anniversary of Pompeii was celebrated. Thank God for being able to attend the Mass and activities in person.

Taking up the entirety of one side of the main square in "new" Pompeii, this magnificent Cathedral is well worth seeing from the inside...high, vaulted ceilings covered with paintings in the classical style, the story of Jesus of course, plus tales of saints. We were lucky to hear grand music emanating from the working organ. Step out of the mad heat to enjoy the serene beauty of the space. Stunningly lit at night, all the way to the tip of the cross. There was a sign for a lift, but we didn't go up the bell tower.

The Sentiero degli Dei, also known as the Path of the Gods, is a picturesque walking trail that offers breathtaking views of the Amalfi coast, Capri, and beyond. This heavenly feast for the eyes showcases the rugged Lattari mountains cascading down to the deep blue Mediterranean sea and charming villages perched on hillsides. The 4.8-mile route connects Agerola to Nocelle and is renowned for its stunning scenery.
It was a fascinating experience with lots of amazing views. I did this with kids and we walked through it in 2-3 hrs with breaks. There are refreshment places throughout and a lemon shop at the end to celebrate. Overall, it was a memorable experience that I totally do not regret doing!
Rui G — Google review
We loved to hike in this "Path of Gods". We were lucky with the weather and the views from the path were stunning. We walked from Bomerano to Positano. Although we had our lunch and water with us but on the way there are places where you can eat and drink. It is a beautiful hike and a must do if you visit Amalfi.
Vijay J — Google review
The best hike experience we did as a whole family. The total hike all the way down to Positano is around 4hrs and 30mins. The view is breath taking. So happy we get to experience the Path Of Gods. We walk from our abnb at Agerola to this place all the way down to Positano. Highly recommended.
Jazzy Y — Google review
Great, casual, and easy to moderate hike. The path is clearly marked and easy to traverse. We took it from Positano to Bomerano and saw some breathtaking views. We found the trail to be safe as it has wide paths and is fenced off for most of the way. Nothing compared to the Kalalau trail or most hikes in Washington State.
Joshua W — Google review
The trail from Agerola to Positano was an unforgettable experience! The views along the Amalfi Coast are simply breathtaking every turn feels like a postcard. September and October are definitely the best months to go, with cooler weather and fewer tourists. It was a little windy, but that only made it feel more alive and adventurous. A walk I’ll always remember! 💯❤️

Fantastic hike on the path of the Gods hot and hard going but absolutely loved the views
Kevin N — Google review
Good hike, that is well marked, definitely easier than expected (based on reviews/what we were told). Took us 1.5 hrs (~6.5km) to complete (regular hiker). It ends with the most amount of stairs I’ve ever seen on a hike, so if you do it in reverse it’d be much more challenging. Views are pretty, but not super jaw dropping (esp if you’re use to come pretty epic hikes) It’s about 35 min drive from amalfi, ~€70 uber or take the bus for €3 (there’s a bus stop right at the end of the trail). The path is both exposed to the sun and in the shade.

Cathedral of St Andrew Apostle

Mentioned on 
+22 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of St. Andrew Apostle, also known as the Cathedral of Amalfi, is a historic church located in the town of Amalfi in Campania, Italy. Originally built in the 10th century and later expanded into a grand Roman church with multiple porches and halls, it has undergone several renovations over the centuries. The entrance features a bronze gate from Constantinople and golden mosaics depicting Moorish life.
The Cathedral of St. Andrew the Apostle is strikingly beautiful and sits right at the center of Amalfi’s main piazza. You’ll enter by climbing a dramatic grand staircase, which makes the whole experience feel even more impressive. Inside, the cathedral features stunning marble throughout and intricately detailed painted mural ceilings. The crypt, which holds the relics of St. Andrew, is a peaceful space still used for prayer, adding to the spiritual depth of the visit. Just off the main cathedral is the Cloister of Paradise, a quiet and beautiful courtyard surrounded by elegant columns and arches. There’s also a small museum on-site with religious artifacts, including a display case said to hold a thorn from the crown of Jesus during the crucifixion. Whether you're visiting for the history, architecture, or spiritual connection, the cathedral leaves a lasting impression.
Casey P — Google review
St. Andrew’s Cathedral stands as the magnificent centerpiece of Amalfi’s main square, serving as the town’s spiritual heart. The cathedral’s stunning architecture and sacred atmosphere create an unforgettable experience, particularly the rare opportunity to venerate a relic of St. Andrew, Christ’s first disciple. The adjoining museum and ancient crypt are equally impressive, offering rich historical insights. The staff welcomes visitors with genuine warmth and helpfulness. For English-speaking visitors: the cathedral offers Sunday evening Mass in English at 6 PM during summer months. While intimate in size, this service provides a meaningful opportunity for international visitors to fully participate in worship after attending Italian-language services elsewhere. St. Andrew’s Cathedral exemplifies Christian hospitality, graciously accommodating both pilgrims and tourists with a spirit that truly reflects its sacred mission.
Neil T — Google review
Visiting the Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Amalfi was one of the most impressive experiences of my trip. The church is truly breathtaking, both inside and out. The grand staircase leading up to the entrance, the beautifully detailed façade, and the striking blend of architectural styles make it a masterpiece that immediately captures your attention. Inside, the atmosphere is equally captivating—peaceful, spiritual, and filled with artistic details that reflect centuries of history. Every corner seems to tell a story, and the craftsmanship is nothing short of extraordinary. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone visiting Amalfi. It is not only a landmark but also an unforgettable cultural and spiritual experience that should not be missed.
Alexandru M — Google review
Must see cathedral with incredible history and architecture spanning 4 different styles, Romanesque, Arab-Norman, Baroque, and Gothic. The church has been rebuilt and added to so many times, making it a really unique piece of history and a snapshot of the culture of the time of construction. Of note obviously is the supposed remains of Saint Andrew who is said to be interred in a crypt from the 1200’s. Not to be outdone by any of the other strange and amazing claims by European Catholic Churches, it is said that manna forms on the sarcophagus and collected from the saints bones, so that’s something. All weirdness aside, the artwork, craftsmanship, and ornate structures inside and out are so worth the price of admission.
Guineviere C — Google review
The Cathedral of St Andrew in Amalfi is a beautiful medieval church incorporating various architectural styles and dominating the central piazza of Amalfi. When we visited there was a service taking place so we contented ourdelves with the beautiful facade and the historic area around the cathedral. Parking in Amalfi was surprisingly easy since the town has a huge underground car park hollowed out of a hill which certainly saves trying to find street parking.
Bernard S — Google review
The Cathedral of St Andrew in Amalfi is worth every sweaty step up those stairs, think of it as your cardio session before the spiritual experience. The place is stunning, grand enough to make you forget your aching calves. Inside, it’s peaceful, beautiful, and full of history. Outside, it’s pure Italian drama, bells ringing, tourists posing, and pigeons doing whatever pigeons do best. A perfect mix of holiness and chaos. Highly recommend, but maybe skip leg day before visiting.
Joe ( — Google review
The Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea in Amalfi is one of the town’s most beautiful landmarks and absolutely worth a visit. The exterior is stunning, with its impressive staircase and striking façade that immediately catches your eye as you arrive in the main square. Inside, the church is just as remarkable, with ornate details and a peaceful yet solemn atmosphere. It’s also an important religious site as it houses the relics of Saint Andrew. There is usually a lot of people, so expect crowds, especially during the day, but it is still an unmissable stop if you are in Amalfi.
Rob — Google review
The Cathedral of St Andrew Apostle is one of the most beautiful landmarks I’ve visited. Its striking black-and-white striped façade and grand staircase create an unforgettable first impression. Climbing the steps gives you a sense of anticipation, and when you finally stand in front of the entrance, the intricate details of the architecture truly stand out. Inside, the cathedral is just as impressive. The combination of rich mosaics, marble columns, and golden details creates an atmosphere of both grandeur and peace. Light streaming through the windows adds to the beauty, highlighting the craftsmanship in every corner. I visited on a weekday and only waited about 10 minutes to enter, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The location in the heart of Amalfi adds to the charm, as you can explore the surrounding streets and enjoy a coffee or gelato after your visit. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a breathtaking spot to appreciate, this cathedral is a must-see. It’s a place where you can slow down, take in the beauty, and feel connected to centuries of tradition and faith.

Villa Cimbrone

Hotel
Nature & Parks
Villa Cimbrone is an elegant hilltop lodging located in a medieval manor offering luxurious rooms, fine dining, and a pool. The hotel features nineteen suites set in large gardens, each uniquely decorated with stunning coastal views, fireplaces, marble floors, and frescoed ceilings. Guests can enjoy exquisite meals prepared by a Michelin star chef at the onsite restaurant and relax by the swimming pool in the central courtyard.
This is one of my favourite hotels in the world. Sitting on top of a mountain, with stunning views of both the sea and other mountains for miles on end. Pictures don't do it justice, it has to be seen with your own eyes to be truly appreciated. Just be prepared for a short 10 minute hike with stairs to reach the hotel, since there are no direct roads accessible, but your luggage will be taken care of by the hotel porters. The walk to the hotel is a refreshing experience itself, giving you a taste of the Ravello mountain life! The staff were all polite and professional, catering to our every need. We went for our wedding anniversary, and the staff accommodated us at every moment, even opening up their helipad for our pickup during departure. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful escape far away from noise and people!
Rohaan — Google review
I was hoping to visit la Rondinaia in Ravello but, as this is not possible, visited Villa Cimbrone instead. Yes, the entry fee of 10euros per person was rather stiff and yes the lady at the ticket counter made being rude a matter of principal, her calling. We are but vulgar tourists to be tolerated if we are lucky. That being said, everybody else was thoroughly charming and wonderful. The gardens are stunningly beautiful and manicured beyond belief. It is a huge pleasure to wander through and the views are breath-taking. Just like the rest of the Amalfi coast, just more so. We came across the villa restaurant (not the Michelin star one) by chance and had the most wonderful meal of our stay in Italy! The food was amazing, the service impeccable and the view I have already written about. My wife and I can't wait to go back!

Going to the city Amalfi brings you close to Ravello. When you bring a car, make the trip to Ravello. Parking is a small disaster. Stroll thought the village centre which has a nice sqaure and walk in about 10 minutes to Villa Cimbrone. Youo nly need to visit the garden. There is a beautiful view over de Amalfi coast on a terrace called Terrazza dell'Infinito. In the garden is a small bar with the famous balcony. Enjoy.

Villa Cimbrone has a fascinating history that blends old-world charm with modern appeal. Its first records date back to the 11th century, during Ravello’s golden era, when it was owned by noble families such as the Acconciajoco and later the Fusco. However, over time, the villa fell into disrepair and became a ruin. In 1904, Ernest William Beckett, later known as Lord Grimthorpe, discovered the property. A wealthy and eccentric Englishman, he fell in love with Villa Cimbrone and decided to restore it. Collaborating with local builder Nicola Mansi, he rebuilt the villa in a mix of Moorish, Venetian, and Gothic styles, incorporating elements from across Italy. This restoration led to the beautiful, almost dreamlike villa we see today. During Beckett's ownership, Villa Cimbrone became a retreat for many notable writers, artists, and thinkers, including Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Winston Churchill, and Greta Garbo. Today, the Vuilleumier family owns the villa. They have preserved its historic beauty and transformed it into a charming hotel, renowned for its stunning Terrace of Infinity and serene gardens. Although we did not stay at the hotel and cannot comment on its services, the gardens are open to visitors who wish to explore the beautiful scenery. We enjoyed a leisurely hour-long walk around the property, which also features a café for all visitors.

Simply an unparalleled, life-affirming experience! The Terrace of Infinity offers the best sea + nature view I have ever witnessed anywhere in the world. It is truly an experience that words fail to capture. The entire villa grounds and park are stunning and perfectly maintained, making the whole visit an absolute must-do! and as a bonus, its a starting point for the most scenic down-hikes to Atrani (lots of stairs though)

Absolutely unbelievable!! One of the most excellent places on the planet!! The story behind the establishment of this villa is unbearably romantic and that energy permeates the entire estate. There are places to eat at both ends of the gardens,which is great because we really did work up an appetite while strolling the gardens. We spent around 5 hours wandering through the gardens and many rooms, crypts and galleries. Really well worth the visit!!

Villa Rufolo is a 13th-century villa with Moorish influences, renowned for its stunning cascading gardens and terraces that offer breathtaking views of the sea. Over the years, it has become a significant tourist attraction, especially after hosting the first editions of Wagner's Concerts in its gardens. The Villa's international reputation grew further when it was acquired by the Provincial Tourist Board of Salerno and opened to the public.
This town has become know as the city of music. My wife and I went to Villa Rufolo and it was so beautiful. The flowers looked like something that came out of a movie. The exhibits were all nice and historical. If you are ever in Ravello you must check out Villa Rufolo.

The gardens are amazing, and the views especially overlooking the Mediterranean. The actual ruffolo palace left much to be desired; there was an art exhibit up that left me confused. But I would highly recommend visiting while in Ravello. Take the bus up (don’t walk).
Peter S — Google review
One of the most beauiful places ive been to. Up above the Amalfi Coast with outstanding views this small town has it all. The gardens are spectacular and we were lucky enough to have room to move having visited off season in March. The skies cleared and the only word for it is Wow. In my opinion it leaves the coast for dead, a lot quieter and a lot to see and do. Cafes are great and our hotel Lolanda was amazing. I cant stress how important it is to take a little time and go off the beaten track up to this place. Visit all the gardens at the top and you wont be disappointed.

Must visit, but try earlier than in the evening, as the sun goes away from 4 pm in October. Sunsets are amazing though. And in October there are not so many flowers and colors like in summer pictures, but still nice. The house is unfortunately empty, and there’s not much to do.

Villa Rufolo was such a hidden gem here in Ravello. Really enjoyed the small room showing the videos and giving some history of the place which helped color a beautiful picture of music, history, and brilliant views. I highly recommend making a stop here if you are visiting Ravello. My best advice, take a scooter to the top of this hill instead of this bulky busses, you’ll be happy you did!

Villa Rufolo is a must - see hot spots destination for anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast. A real hidden gem on the Amalfi Coast and one of my favorite place to see it. This is nature’s artwork on display . A very impressive, stunning place with a unique color of the spirits, worth all the raves about it. Worth spending a day here soaking in the ambience, surrounded by incredible scenery, pure natural peaceful, beautiful masterpieces of gardens and magnificent spectacular breathtaking views from every corner.

Main garden closed should be told when buying ticket, misleading. Gardeners walking around with cigarettes in the month just yapping. Supposed to be a peaceful place but just felt weird there. End of the season is coming so I understand but should have mentioned the main garden they use in all the pictures is closed and covered by a concert layout… not worth €7 entree for that… but beautiful views that are normal in Ravello.

Very beautiful and peaceful. Great views and cool breeze! Restaurant was closed when we went. Take water. Dress modestly or they give you paper cover ups to go in.

A sanctuary on the top of the mountain. That's the Italian way of building churches. Created around 1200's-1500's this is the most beautiful place to pray and contemplate the beauty of the nature,fresh air, and a magnificent landscape view of cities such us Mercogliano, summomte and Avellino. That's not all, from here, you can see the naples beach and island and the volcano. Moreover, the sanctuary is full of history and beautiful images.

Gonzalo D — Google review
Villa Comunale di Salerno is one of those places that you unexpectedly fall in love with and find yourself coming back to again and again. Nestled between the lively seafront and the charming old town, it’s a peaceful retreat full of greenery, elegance, and history. From the moment you enter, you're surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens, classic fountains, and lovely shaded paths lined with palm trees, exotic plants, and vibrant flowers. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—perfect for a morning walk, a quiet break in the afternoon, or just soaking up the local atmosphere. What sets it apart is its combination of nature and art. Throughout the garden are impressive statues, busts of notable Italian figures, and plaques with historical significance. You really get the feeling that this isn’t just a park—it’s a living museum in the open air. There’s also a charming bandstand in the centre, which adds to the timeless feel of the place. The cleanliness and upkeep are worth mentioning—the gardens are very well maintained and there are plenty of benches to sit on. It’s safe, family-friendly, and never feels overcrowded. It’s also just a few minutes from Salerno’s Lungomare promenade, so it fits easily into a day of sightseeing. And if you’re lucky enough to visit during the famous Luci d’Artista light festival (usually between November and January), Villa Comunale becomes a truly magical wonderland. The entire park is transformed into a glowing fairytale, with giant illuminated animals, trees wrapped in lights, and creative displays that enchant both kids and adults. It’s one of the highlights of Salerno in winter. Overall, Villa Comunale di Salerno is more than just a park—it’s a peaceful, historic, and beautifully designed space that reflects the elegance and warmth of the city itself. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, it’s a place that invites you to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of Santa Maria degli Angeli, San Matteo and San Gregorio VII is an ornate church with a rich history dating back to 1084. It has undergone several renovations due to natural disasters but has been restored to its original grandeur.
A beautiful 1,000 year old church with a fantastic crypt. The ceiling of the crypt is painted with beautiful frescoes telling many of the stories of Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection. I took so many photos of the ceiling that my neck started to hurt! Be sure to visit the museum as well - so many amazing works of art spanning several centuries. Totally worth the couple of hours we spent there and the small admission fee.

The Duomo di Salerno is a beautiful and historic cathedral that is absolutely worth a visit. Built in the 11th century by Robert Guiscard and dedicated to Saint Matthew, whose relics are preserved here, it is one of the most important churches in southern Italy. The entrance through the courtyard with its arches and columns already sets a special atmosphere before you reach the main interior. Inside, the cathedral is elegant and rich in history, with impressive mosaics, chapels, and the crypt of Saint Matthew, which is truly striking. When we visited in the afternoon, there were surprisingly few people, which made the experience even more enjoyable and allowed us to really take in the details in peace. A must-see in Salerno for both history and architecture lovers.

It is worth the trip. If you go to Salerno by cruise ship, take the ferry one way and take the bus another way to Amalfi. You can definitely go further places, but Amalfi was beautiful. It is an expensive place for drinks, deserts, etc. but hey you are on vacation, live a little
Ilkay — Google review
My friend and I arrived here a half hour before the crypt closed Friday night. Definitely go closer to closing as there was almost no one there and made for better photos in the ASTOUNDING crypt. For a fiver, this was SO worth it. I’ve only seen a crypt this spectacular at St Francis Monastery in Assisi. Absolutely mind-blowing Baroque work. We spent 20 minutes JUST in the crypt taking photos. The nave on the other hand is quite simple but has a gorgeous mosaic and there is also a lovely tomb right outside the crypt exit. The online guide you scan via a QR code is very helpful as there is no other info around to guide what you’re looking at.

The Duomo of Salerno is breathtaking in its mix of history and architecture. Built in the 11th century by the Normans, it holds the relics of Saint Matthew, one of the Apostles, making it an important pilgrimage site. The bronze doors are incredible, and the crypt beneath the main altar is richly decorated with mosaics and frescoes - one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The atmosphere is quiet and reverent, but also very welcoming. A must-visit if you’re in Salerno, even if just for a short stroll through the historic center.

(Translated by Google) In Avellino, there are few places where you can go with friends to sip an aperitif, tea or chocolate in peace with friends. One of these is certainly the literary café. The location is really beautiful and welcoming, and during the summer you can also enjoy a large terrace. The three stars are for the wasted opportunity. What could be a real point of reference among the Avellino clubs often finds itself managed very badly. Almost every time I went there, choosing from the menus, I was told "it's finished - we've finished it". Furthermore, when you stop for an aperitif you are offered a miserable tarallini. missed opportunity, but I hope it can improve. (Original) Ad Avellino, sono pochi i locali in cui recarsi con amici per sorseggiare un aperitivo, un tè o una cioccolata in tranquillità con amici. Uno di questi è sicuramente il Caffè letterario.

Quello che potrebbe essere un vero riferimento tra i locali avellinesi, si trova spesso ad essere gestito malissimo. Quasi ogni volta che mi ci sono recato, scegliendo dai menù presenti, mi sono sentito rispondere "è finito - l'abbiamo terminato". Inoltre, quando ci si ferma per un aperitivo viene proposta una misera tarallini. occasione persa, ma spero che possa migliorare.

There is always music playing in the background and several DJs offering their service. Staff not always friendly. There is only one bathroom for women and men and perhaps it is unhygienic but still quite clean. It also has a smoking room with tables and sofas. It definitely goes on the list of places to try!

C'è un unico bagno per donne e uomini e forse è poco igienico però comunque abbastanza pulito. Dispone anche di una sala fumatori con tavoli e divanetti.

The Clock Tower, an iconic structure in Avellino, is a historical monument that was constructed during the latter half of the 17th century. Often attributed to the talented architect-sculptor Cosimo Fanzago, it stands as a symbol of the city. Located in close proximity to the Cathedral within the charming historic center, this magnificent landmark is truly awe-inspiring. However, it could benefit from a restoration project to preserve its grandeur for future generations.

Wineries & Vineyards
Quintodecimo is an extraordinary winery renowned for its exceptional creations. The wine exhibits a delightful aroma of citrus zest and luscious peach intertwined with sweet acacia honey, accompanied by hints of Dijon mustard and a touch of saltiness. On the palate, it showcases a harmonious blend of savory elements and smooth texture, enhanced by a captivating acidic structure that provides freshness and length. The finish is persistently impressive, showcasing the prominence of the fruit.
One of the most remarkable wineries in the world. Reservations required. The best aging red and white wines in Italy created from pristine vineyards. Professor Moio is one of the great wine educators.

Incredible experience - a real quality cru winery that employs Burgundian techniques in the Irpinian terroir. Quintodecimo produces some of the most premium and refined wines in the region, and we highly recommend doing the tasting to see the difference between their wines and other wines of the region. Chiara was a very knowledgeable and excellent host, taking us through the vineyards and facilities, and guiding us through the tasting alongside delicious local cheeses and fruits. Thank you for having us, and also all of the tips for our onward travels!

(Translated by Google) Agricultural company founded in 2001 by Prof. Luigi Moio and inspired by French chateaux, where home and company coexist. The guided tour begins with a brief presentation of this splendid company reality, then continuing through the various environments. But the highlight is the tasting of the three DOCG wines, paired with local products, to better enhance the characteristics of the wines tasted. Although the tasting included three wines, the Taurasi vigna grande Cerzito was also added. During this phase, the Professor joined in and with his observations on the wine made this beautiful experience even more interesting. If you pass through Irpina, a stop here is a must.

Ma il pezzo forte è la degustazione dei tre vini DOCG, in abbinamento a prodotti del territorio, per esaltare meglio le caratteristiche dei vini degustati. Sebbene la degustazione prevedesse tre vini, è stato aggiunto anche il Taurasi vigna grande Cerzito. Durante questa fase, si è aggiunto il Professore che con le sue osservazioni sul vino ha reso ancora più interessante questa bella esperienza. Se si passa in Irpina una tappa qui è da fare.

(Translated by Google) The name of the wine is inspired by Van Gogh's favorite color and its warm light. It goes without saying that the winery is one of the most prestigious in Italy. Greco di tufo is one of the few Italian whites capable of evolving in the cellar for many years despite already being very pleasant in its youth. The golden reflections enchant the senses; the aromas of fruit and yellow pulp blend with dried fruit; very elegant and full-bodied, it promises an engaging and satisfying drink with a mineral finish and enviable flavor. Obviously to try and try again. (Original) Il nome del vino è ispirato al colore preferito da Van Gogh e alla sua calda luce. Inutile dire che la cantina è una delle più prestigiose d'Italia. Il greco di tufo è uno dei pochi bianchi italiani capaci di evolvere in cantina per molti anni pur essendo già piacevolissimo in gioventù. I riflessi dorati ammaliano i sensi; gli aromi di frutta e polpa gialla si fondono alla frutta secca; elegantissimo e di corpo preannuncia una beva coinvolgente ed appagante con un fin di bocca minerale e d'invidiabile sapidità. Ovviamente da provare e riprovare.

Inside this everything makes sense, from the color of the tiles to the distribution of the tanks. And then again the barrel cellar which gives off a wonderful wine scent and the historical collection of professor Luigi Moio's bottles. Enchanting tasting room, soft light and light background music, windows overlooking the vineyards. An essential, clean, fresh and harmonious wine, not cloying and free from defects. Very clear winemaking project, minimal intervention in the cellar, all for a product that has no rivals. And still so, so much to tell...

Sala degustazione incantevole, luce soffusa e musica leggera di sottofondo, vetrate con vista vigneti. Vino essenziale, pulito, fresco e armonioso, non stucchevole e privo di difetti. Progetto enologico chiarissimo, minimo intervento in cantina, il tutto per un prodotto che non ha rivali. E ancora tanto, tantissimo da raccontare... Esperienza unica, adatta per appassionati di arte, armonia, e vino, in un connubio perfetto sotto il nome di Quintodecimo.

Parco Archeologico di Aeclanum is a site of great historical and monumental significance. The park features feudal palaces, ancient walls, and an 11 Roman tombs necropolis. Despite natural damage, the park has retained its distinctive characteristics. However, it has been noted that the site lacks proper maintenance and signage to guide visitors through its rich history. While the entrance is not clearly marked from the state road, visitors can freely explore the area by car.
Such a hidden gem. We were told about this historic site from a local and I am glad we took the time out to see it. I thought we would only spend 10 minutes here but we spent around an hour walking through and exploring the ancient ruins. My 14 year old son had more fun here than in Pompeii. After 10 minutes in Pompeii he was asking if we were finished but here was able to walk through and explore wherever he wanted. Don’t expect the cobblestone paths and grand structures of Pompeii but still a must visit if you are in the area.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful Roman town, it could use a little more care and more signage. It's a shame the excavations have been interrupted. P.S. Parking at the entrance to the excavations is free. (Original) Bella cittadina romana, andrebbe curata un po di più, e più indicazioni peccato siano interrotti gli scavi.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful archaeological park that recounts the bygone era of the ancient Roman city of Aeclanum. The archaeological park is very well maintained, the staff is helpful, and there's parking available inside the park. It's also free to visit on the first Sunday of every month and on national holidays. I highly recommend a visit. (Original) Un bellissimo parco archeologico che racconta l'epoca passata della città antica romana di Aeclanum. Il parco archeologico è tenuto molto bene, il personale è disponibile e c'è la possibilità di sostare l'auto all'interno del parco. Si può visitare anche gratuitamente la prima domenica di ogni mese e durante le feste nazionali. Consiglio la visita.

Abbey Goleto is a beautifully restored abbey with a rich historical background dating back to the early 1100s. It is located in a serene and picturesque setting, making it an ideal destination for a day trip or events. The abbey also houses Roman era spoils in its bell tower and walls, adding to its historical significance. Visitors can enjoy the calm and relaxing atmosphere while exploring this historical gem.
What an amazing place we stumbled upon after eating at an excellent restaurant nearby. Well worth a visit.

Abbey of Goleto is a beautifully maintained site that deserves much more promotion and visibility, as it is truly stunning. The abbey was founded in the 12th century by Saint William of Vercelli and became an important spiritual center in the region. The site offers plenty of information: there are detailed signs in both Italian and English, and you can even listen to the content via QR codes in both languages. Parking is easy, and entry is free. There isn’t much else directly around the abbey (apart from a café and a restaurant), but the peaceful atmosphere and the history make it well worth a visit.

Castello Guerritore

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
(Translated by Google) I visited this majestic Norman castle in the heart of Borgo della Regina with my family. Built in 1114 and modified several times over the years with new fortifications during the Renaissance, it is one of the most important symbols of the Oliveto Citra community. Inside, we found Vincenzo, a polite young man who, free of charge, told us all the detailed stories of this place. He also took us on a tour of the entire castle and museum, explaining every single detail. We concluded with a unique video reflected in the castle walls. He told us that it belonged to William of Toille and, finally, inherited by the patrician of Ravello, Andrea Guerritore, from whom it takes its name. Its privileged position dominates the entire Sele Valley, offering us visitors a breathtaking view that I'll show you in photos. The history of the ancient silences of Oliveto Citra... A name that echoes in the depths of an ancient valley. This is not the story of a single ghost or a woman whose identity has been lost... but of something much more remote. ​Among the lands of this valley, archaeologists have uncovered the silent tombs of the Oliveto-Cairano Culture, dating back to an age of fog and iron, between the 8th and 6th centuries BC. ​And it is here that the figure arises, mysterious in the sense of unknown, yet shrouded in the veil of time: the "Woman of Oliveto." ​Imagine... underground, in a burial that has waited millennia, the traces of a figure of power have been found. An uncommon woman, perhaps a priestess, or the matriarch of a clan, whose prestige was sealed in her funerary objects. ​Among the gifts for her final journey, an object that speaks of a lost world stands out: a double-spiral bronze brooch. A symbol, a jewel that has spanned the ages to reveal the role and status of a woman who ruled the nights in an age of unwritten legends. Her jewels, her tools... everything bears silent witness to a life lived and a buried power. She now rests, or her remains, displayed in the castle that watches over the city, still speak of the grandeur and mystery of the people who preceded her. Another mystery linked to more recent stories recalls the name Oliveto Citra for the apparitions of the "Queen of the Castle" in 1985, a mystery of faith and devotion. (Original) Ho visitato con la famiglia questo maestoso castello normanno nel cuore del Borgo della Regina Edificato nel 1114 e più volte modificato nel corso degli anni con nuove fortificazioni in età rinascimentale, è uno dei simboli più importanti della comunità di Oliveto Citra. All'interno abbiamo trovato Vincenzo un ragazzo educato che a titolo gratuito ci ha nattato tutte le storie nei dettagli di questo posto ed in più ci ha fatto visitare tutto il castello con il museo spiegandoci ogni singolo dettaglio in più abbiamo concluso con un video particolare riflesso nelle mura del castello...ci ha narrato che é appartenuto a Guglielmo di Toille e, infine, ereditato dal patrizio di Ravello Andrea Guerritore, da cui prende il nome, con la sua posizione privilegiata domina tutta la Valle del Sele, offrendo a noi visitatori un panorama mozzafiato che vi mostro in foto. ... ​La storia degli antichi silenzi di ​Oliveto Citra... Un nome che riecheggia nel profondo di una valle antica. Non si tratta della storia di un singolo fantasma o di una donna di cui si è smarrita l'identità... ma di qualcosa di molto più remoto. ​Tra le terre di questa valle, gli archeologi hanno dischiuso le tombe silenziose della Cultura di Oliveto-Cairano, risalente a un'era di nebbia e ferro, tra l'VIII e il VI secolo a.C. ​Ed è qui che sorge la figura misteriosa nel senso di ignota, ma avvolta nel velo del tempo: la "Donna di Oliveto". ​Immagina... sotto terra, in una sepoltura che ha atteso millenni, è stata trovata la traccia di una figura di potere. Una donna non comune, forse una sacerdotessa, o la matriarca di un clan, il cui prestigio è stato sigillato nel suo corredo funebre. ​Tra i doni per il suo ultimo viaggio, spicca un oggetto che parla di un mondo perduto: una spilla bronzea a doppia spirale. Un simbolo, un monile che ha attraversato le ere per rivelare il ruolo e lo status di una donna che ha dominato le sue notti in un'epoca di leggende non scritte. ​I suoi gioielli, i suoi utensili... tutto è muto testimone di una vita vissuta e di un potere sepolto. Lei, ora riposa, o i suoi resti, esposti nel castello che veglia sulla città, parlano ancora della grandezza e del mistero delle genti che l'hanno preceduta. ​un altro mistero legato a storie più recenti, ricorda che il nome di Oliveto Citra per le apparizioni della "Regina del Castello" del 1985, un mistero di fede e devozione.

(Translated by Google) It's a shame we didn't go in because it was closed but the outside was very very nice and suggestive. There is the Madonna del Castello positioned inside a star-shaped shrine surrounded by a particular stone wall. The village is very characteristic, a little uphill but is ideal for a pleasant walk especially in summer. (Original) Peccato non esserci entrati perché era chiuso ma all'esterno molto molto carino e suggestivo. Vi è la Madonna del Castello posizionata all'interno di una teca a forma di stella contornata da un particolare muro di pietra. Il paesino è molto caratteristico, un po' in salita ma è l'ideale per una piacevole passeggiata soprattutto d'estate.

Il Borgo Castello di Calitri has a rich history, originally belonging to the family of Carlo d'Angio and later passing through various hands. The structure suffered significant damage from earthquakes in the 16th and 17th centuries. Despite this, it has been revitalized, showcasing a blend of tragedy and hope. Visitors can witness the remnants of past devastation alongside reconstructed parts that exude vitality and ancient charm.

(Translated by Google) An evocative, interesting place, one of those places that you don't expect and that fascinates and captures you! A mixture of ancient flavor that descends into experience and envelops. The recovery operation of the village, after the abandonment after the earthquake of 1980, was able to leave authenticity and has enhanced so much: proceeding along the tour, you enter the internal rooms, where you can breathe in crafts, daily life and artisan or peasant traditions thanks to the displays made of objects and details recovered or donated. Furthermore, I also found the photographic or ceramic exhibitions interesting, because they do not invade or flaunt "art", resulting perfectly contextualized in an open dialogue with the village that once was. In short, it is "an experience", a "being there" in a place that is closed and open, a panorama of Irpinia mountains and landscapes. A huge thank you to @PROLOCOdiCalitri who made my visit possible with their helpfulness and professionalism!! (Original) Un luogo suggestivo, interessante, uno di quei luoghi che non ti aspetti e che ti affascina e cattura! Un misto di sapore antico che cala nel vissuto e avvolge. L'operazione di recupero del borgo, dopo l'abbandono post sisma del 1980, ha saputo lasciare autenticità e ha valorizzato tanto: procedendo nel percorso di visita, si entra infatti negli ambienti interni, dove si respira mestieri, vita quotidiana e tradizioni artigiane o contadine grazie agli allestimenti fatti di oggetti e dettagli recuperati o donati. Inoltre, ho trovato interessanti anche le mostre, fotografiche o di ceramiche, perché non invadono né ostentano "arte", risultando perfettamente contestualizzate in un dialogo aperto con il borgo che fu. Insomma, è "un'esperienza", un "esserci" in un luogo che è chiuso e aperto, panorama di monti irpini e paesaggi. Un ringraziamento enorme alla @PROLOCOdiCalitri che con disponibiltà e professionalità ha reso possibile la mia visita!!

Waterfalls
Cascate di San Fele is a series of picturesque waterfalls nestled in the hilly, forested terrain of the Lucanian Apennines. The Bradanello torrent gives rise to these stunning cascades as it flows through the municipality of San Fele. Visitors can explore the network of trails that connect these waterfalls, including one dedicated to lovers.
A really beautiful spot in nature, a set of around 7 waterfalls, a couple of which can’t be accessed because of landslide damage. The ones you can visit are just a short walk from the town of San Fele and are really lovely and completely free to enter. The water is cool and clear, some people were swimming but it was too cold for me!

Beautiful spot for a walk in the woods! We enjoyed a pleasant visit to the falls and viewed some wonderful fall scenery along the way. Some other Italian groups out for the same… made for a great outing! The signs are pretty old and impossible to read, so no way to “plan” the walk and route. Hence, 4 stars. Otherwise really nice!

Those of San Fele, like many other waterfalls, were formed along the courses of rivers because, in a stretch of their course, the part of the land on which they flow is less resistant to erosion than the part further upstream; over time, a difference in height is formed between the two parts and a waterfall is thus generated that can slowly grow in height over the passing of millennia…

Melfi Castle, a square-towered fortress originally built by the Normans in the 11th century, sits atop a lush hill. Despite being affected by earthquakes in 1851 and 1930, the powerful structure of the castle has endured. The oldest section was expanded under Roger II's reign and further enhanced by Frederick II of Swabia. Visitors can explore various artifacts from different eras at the museum within the castle grounds.

Specialty Museums
The Museo archeologico nazionale del Vulture e Melfese, housed in the castle of Melfi, is a hidden gem showcasing archaeological objects from the Vulture area. The museum offers a rich display of artifacts from different periods, providing visitors with an engaging and unforgettable experience. Named after "Massimo Pallottino," this museum is a fundamental stop for those seeking to delve into the historical and cultural heritage of Basilicata.
What the Policoro Museum is for the south of Basilicata, the Melfi Museum is for the north. Located in the picturesque medieval castle of Melfi, the museum offers an astonishingly rich overview of the archaeological heritage, mainly of the Melfese. For archaeology aficionados, the museum has some blockbuster highlights, mainly rich funerary assemblages from the Archaic and Early Hellenistic periods. The museum offers a fascinating tour of the region’s archaeological sites and provides a good balance between displaying objects and explaining them with textual information.

(Translated by Google) The collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Melfi (PZ), housed in the castle, offers a cross-section of this city and the surrounding area. It is divided into different sections, from the prehistoric era to the imperial era, passing through the pre-Roman age. There are preserved vases, decorated ceramics, armor and helmets, statuettes and ampoules. The flagship of the collection is represented by the sarcophagus of Rapolla, in white marble and with an elaborate architectural structure. On the lid there is a portrait of an aristocratic matron, lying down, and on the sides are sculpted Gods and heroes of Greco-Roman mythology.

Our tour guide Francesca was great! She told us so much history about the cellars where the wine is stored and about the history of the place and the wine itself. The wine tasting and tour is only 35 euro which is a steal for everything you get. You tour the facility for about an hour then taste and discuss 4 wines of your choosing, also for about an hour. The wines are mostly reds created from the aglianico grape. The wines range in price from about 12 euro to 40 euro. Of course there are exceptions but this is the average. The wine has special mineral qualities because of the dormant Vulture volcano soil the grapes are grown in. The only sad thing, they do not ship to the US yet! Not to worry, they have a distributor. If you are in the area I recommend this tour and winery. Almost forgot, bring a jacket as the cellars are chilly. If you forget, no problem, they have jackets to borrow there!

So we thought, let's go straight to the shop. We had a tour and some wine tasting, just the snacks, unfortunately not meats and cheese (next time). So off we went into the sellers and where the tour began. Fantastic story and explanation of what makes this wine special. We tasted two wines and loved them both. Should you gobif near, yes. The tour we took was €10 each, to be honest that's cheap and well worth the value. 👍👍🍷🍷

Just wanted to share a cantina in Basilicata for anyone heading to Matera! 90 mins north there is the Aglianico del Vulture DOC region and the Cantina del Notaio (cantina of the notary). You walk through an underground maze of about half a dozen caves from the '400-'600 built by franciscan friars to make divine wine while treating the sick. The barrels are still stored there today! We also had a chance to taste their two most popular wines: la firma and sigillo (clever names lol). Sigillo reminds me of the amarone-very rich, good with a fiorentina steak and you can taste the tannins-It takes about 4 years to bottle. La Firma was my personal favorite-2 years to bottle so a younger wine.

On your way to Monticchio lakes or as standalone visit, this is THE warm place to stop by for quality wine tasting and guided visits to their very own ancient Franciscan volcanic tuff caves 🍷

The guided tour was extraordinary and the passion for wines and the history of the place has been greatly delivered by Fabiana, our guide. I highly recommend a visit if you happen to be around. The “Sigillo” is a most-try.

If you visit only one winery in Basilicata, it should be this one. Notaio is a stellar producer, with noteworthy wines. But their tasting room and aging cellar definitely highlight the tasting experience, and shouldn't be missed. I won't ruin the surprise -just go, and enjoy the experience!

Castello di Lagopesole

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
(Translated by Google) The castle is very well restored by the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage and demonstrates all its majesty well. Some parts cannot be visited because safety testing is missing. The visit is free, however a ticket is required. The employee competently provided us with historical explanations and the main characteristics, such as the water collection system. The church for private use is beautiful. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to linger in the rooms where a truly well-designed multimedia itinerary on the emigration of Lucanian people is set up. (Original) Il castello è molto ben restaurato dalla Soprintendenza ai beni culturali e dimostra bene tutta la sua maestosità. Alcune parti non sono visitabili perché manca il collaudo della sicurezza. La visita è gratuita, si stacca comunque un biglietto. L'addetta ci ha fornito con competenza le spiegazioni storiche e le principali caratteristiche, come ad esempio il sistema di raccolta delle acque. Bella la chiesa ad uso privato. Purtroppo non abbiamo avuto tempo sufficiente per soffermarci nelle sale in cui è allestito un percorso multimediale sull'emigrazione della gente lucana, davvero ben progettato.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful castle of Frederick II that cannot yet be visited in its entirety. In addition to the imposing structure typical of the castles of Frederick II, it is the use inside that is striking: with a passport of a person who really existed they make you make his journey as an emigrant to America. Very interesting especially for school groups. (Original) Bellissimo castello Federiciano non ancora visitabile per intero. Oltre la struttura imponente tipica dei castelli di Federico II , è l uso all interno che colpisce: con un passaporto di una persona veramente esistita ti fanno fare il suo viaggio da emigrante verso l America. Molto interessante soprattutto per le scolaresche.

The castle is fantastic architecturally speaking and free. Additionally, when we went there was a very interesting and well-done interactive exposition about the migration of "Lucani" to other parts of the world. It is very well done and my husband and I got very attached to the story of the character (real person who moved to New York in the 1880s). The interactive exhibition was a great idea and very well organized, so kudos to the region or province. The personnel was also super friendly and attentive.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic visit to a beautifully restored castle of Frederick II. Inside there is also an interactive multimedia path of Lucanian immigrations of the early 1900s to the Americas. Truly an experience to do. While waiting for the opening time we also did one of the nature trails around the castle. (Original) Una visita fantastica ad un castello di Federico II ottimamente ristrutturato. All'interno c'è anche un percorso interattivo multimediale delle immigrazioni lucane del primo 900 verso le Americhe. Davvero una esperienza da fare. Nell' attesa dell'orario di apertura siamo fatti anche uno dei sentieri naturalistici intorno al castello.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience... A part of the castle is open to the public, with free admission. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! The Emigrant Museum has been set up in one wing of the castle. It's a lovely visit, with videos, photos, and many interactive features. (Original) Bella esperienza... Una parte del castello è aperta al pubblico, con entrata libera. Personale gentile, preparato e disponibile! In un'ala del castello è stato allestito il museo dell'emigrante. Bello da visitare, con video, foto e tante parti interattive.

(Translated by Google) Lagopesole Castle (PZ) was one of the favourite places of Emperor Frederick II, who loved to take refuge there to devote himself to the art of hunting. The fascinating medieval manor, nestled on a hill guarding the Ofanto and Bradano rivers, is admired for its being a massive rectangular block. The fortress is divided into two floors and characterised by two courtyards, a larger one, including a cistern and a chapel, and a smaller one containing an imposing keep. In the 19th century the castle was the refuge of Carmine Crocco's bandits; today it is home to cultural initiatives such as an interesting Narrante Museum. (Original) Il castello di Lagopesole (PZ) fu uno dei luoghi preferiti dall’imperatore Federico II, che amava rifugiarvisi per dedicarsi all’arte venatoria. L’affascinante maniero medievale, adagiato su una collinetta a guardia dei fiumi Ofanto e Bradano, si lascia ammirare per il suo essere un massiccio blocco rettangolare. Il fortilizio è articolato su due piani e caratterizzato da due cortili, uno maggiore, comprendente una cisterna e una cappella, e uno minore contenente un imponente dongione. Nell’Ottocento il castello fu il rifugio dei briganti di Carmine Crocco; oggi è sede di iniziative culturali come un interessante Museo Narrante.

(Translated by Google) A castle that may be simple, but with great mystical significance. The Palatine Chapel, used for exhibitions, is beautiful. (Original) Un castello magari semplice ma con una grande valenza mistica. Bella la Cappella Palatina utilizzata per mostre.

(Translated by Google) I can't believe admission is free. The largest of the castles built by Frederick II, surrounded by beautiful forests with nature trails. Situated on a hilltop with breathtaking views. I visited during an exhibition (also free) on the emigration of people from Basilicata (and beyond). A truly well-crafted, touching, and engaging exhibition, which, however, could use more English captions. (Original) Non riesco a credere che l'ingresso sia gratuito. Il più grande dei castelli fatti costruire da Federico II, circondato da splendide foreste con percorsi naturalistici. Situato su una collina dalla quale si gode di una vista mozzafiato. Visitato durante una mostra (anche questa gratuita) sull'emigrazione delle genti della Basilicata (e non solo). Mostra davvero ben fatta, toccante, coinvolgente, che tuttavia necessiterebbe di più didascalie in lingua inglese.

Museo archeologico nazionale della Basilicata

Archaeological museum
Museums
The Museo archeologico nazionale della Basilicata, located in Potenza and inaugurated in 2005, provides a comprehensive overview of archaeological findings from the entire region. The museum is divided into two floors, showcasing exhibits in chronological and geographical order.
The admission to the museum was very reasonable. We were also pleasantly surprised when we were greeted by Valentino, who was our guide during our visit. She was an excellent guide and explained the history of the artifacts. We learned more about the exhibits than we would have done on our own. We enjoyed our visit to the museum and would recommend it to others. The artifacts are displayed very well.

We went on Saturday midday. I think that we were the only people in any of the exhibition spaces. The woman at the ticket office was extremely helpful. She really went out of her way to be sure that we got the best experience. Most of the information was in Italian. Pre-Roman artifacts were amazing.
Andrew D — Google review
The National Museum of Potenza needs no recommendation, as it houses one of the richest and finest archaeological collections in southern Italy and is a must for anyone interested in the pre-Roman past of Basilicata. The collection includes rich burial goods from the Early Iron Age, highlights such as the elaborate assemblages from the Archaic tombs of Braida di Vaglio and exquisite objects from the Lucanian phase of the region. The objects are presented with the greatest care, telling the complex history of Basilicata through the ages, and the museum is still evolving, with an extension of the Roman section in preparation. Many thanks to the whole team for making it an unforgettable visit!

(Translated by Google) The National Archaeological Museum of Potenza is housed in the prestigious Palazzo Loffredo, one of the oldest noble residences in the city. It houses finds from the inland areas of northern Basilicata. The collection displays materials and objects of daily use from prehistoric times to Roman colonization, passing through the events of the Italic tribes that succeeded one another in dominating the territory. The visit is interesting for specialists, and instructive even for simple enthusiasts. (Original) Il Museo archeologico nazionale di Potenza è ospitato nel prestigioso Palazzo Loffredo, tra le più antiche residenze nobiliari della città. Esso ospita i reperti provenienti delle aree interne della Basilicata settentrionale.

La visita è interessante per gli specialisti, e istruttiva anche per i semplici appassionati.

Bridge

Ponte Musmeci is a unique monument with significant architectural value, offering an ideal setting for enjoying the surrounding greenery and even for practicing skating and skateboarding. Named after its designer, it serves as a crucial connection between the Potenza - Sicignano motorway junction and the city, bypassing various industrial elements. Although in need of maintenance and restoration, it remains a noteworthy site to visit and a popular meeting point.

(Translated by Google) Everything needs to be redone, dilapidated structure, without a minimum of maintenance. Nothing has been done under the administration of Mayor Mario Guarente, let's hope in the next ballot the administration will change and we will finally be able to intervene on such an important structure. The renovated bridge is an architectural excellence and flagship of our regional capital. (Original) Tutto da rifare, struttura fatiscente, senza un minimo di manutenzione. Con l'amministrazione del Sindaco Mario Guarente non è stato fatto nulla, speriamo al prossimo ballottaggio cambia amministrazione e finalmente si riesca ad intervenire su una struttura così importante. Il ponte ristrutturato è un'eccellenza architettonica e fiore all'occhiello del nostro capoluogo di regione.

(Translated by Google) A unique monument in its particular architectural value, it would be ideal for an immersion in the greenery or for any training on skates and skateboards. Alas, the degradation has made it subject to restrictions by the superintendence. Waiting for it to be settled and I can spend its worth. (Original) Monumento unico nel suo particolare valore architettonico, sarebbe ideale per un immersione nel verde o per eventuali allenamenti su pattini e skateboard. Ahinoi, il degrado lo ha fatto sottoporre a vincoli da parte della sovraintendenza. Aspettando che sia sistemato e possa spendere per il suo valore.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful area for amateur sportsmen or for quiet walks accompanied by the roar of the BASENTO waters. The Musmeci bridge is a nice surprise. The greenery needs to be looked after but I believe that Guarente will immediately restore the place. (Original) Bellissima area per gli sportivi amatoriali o per tranquille passeggiate accompagnate dallo scroscio delle acque del BASENTO. Il ponte Musmeci una bella sorpresa. Il verde va curato ma credo che Guarente provvederà subito a ripristinare il luogo.
