Beautiful! 🤩 FYI: "Basilicata" comes from the Greek basilikos (βασιλικός), ref: the "basileus" the Byzantine emperors (532-1059 AD), but before was called "Lucania" (Latin: lucis/lucere [light/to shine] +place of), which is why the people are called "Lucano/a" (or in English "Lucanian"), and rarely "Basilicatesi". ☝🏼🤓 |

The original medieval hilltop village of Craco Matera has been uninhabited since ~1970 from severe landslides, floods, and a devastating earthquake. (Irpania: 6.9 MMS, X MMI!) Waaay back in 1561, before this long decline, Craco Matera had a pop. ~2,600, and most locals today (<600) live in Craco Peschiera, a commune nearby, FWIW. 🤓 |
