Basilicata
Southern Italy forms the lower boot of the Italian peninsula, containing the ankle (Abruzzo and Molise and southern Lazio), the toe (Calabria), and the heel (Apulia). On the eastern coast is the Adriatic Sea, leading into the rest of the Mediterranean through the Strait of Otranto. On the Adriatic, south of the spur of the boot, the peninsula of Monte Gargano, the Gulf of Salerno, the Gulf of Naples, and the Gulf of Gaeta are each named after a large coastal city. Basilicata is a remote and wild region that has remained largely unspoilt.
Basilicata is mostly an upland country, scattered with ruins. The brooding town of Melfi has a formidable Norman castle, while nearby Venosa was once the largest Roman colony. The town has an archaeology park with remains of Roman baths and an amphitheatre.
Basilicata has two provinces: Matera and Potenza.

Cuisine of the region
Cuisine of Basilicata is mainly based on the use of pork and sheep, beans, cereals and vegetables, with the addition of aromas such as hot peppers, powdered raw peppers and horseradish. The local gastronomy is for historical-cultural reasons, typically based on simple recipes and on the culture of reuse, in particular of meat and bread.
