Bellissimo Magazine - Basilicata - Spring 2025
In issue 17 of Bellissimo, our quarterly digital magazine, we delve into Basilicata, also known by its ancient name Lucania.
Our on-the-ground experts move through the otherworldly cave dwellings in Matera, one of the oldest cities in the world that has helped the region's star rise; Maratea, the seaside town with one surprising tie to Rio de Janeiro; Aliano, the tiny town where painter-author-activist Carlo Levi spent time in exile, calling attention to its plight with his pivotal 1945 memoir Christ Stopped at Eboli; the bakeries where earthy and rustic Pane di Matera is prepared; the unique hotels playing on the region’s strengths; and so much more.
