Regions
I.Basilicata
Over the last two centuries, hundreds of thousands of Lucani left for the Americas, Australia, and Northern Europe, creating one of the largest diasporas in the world. Now, people are choosing to stay, to come back. Elena Fucci chose to stay on the slopes of Monte Vulture, an extinct volcano, to save her grandfather's vineyard. People like her are what draw us to Basilicata.
