BASILICATA
Exciting Lucania
It also has two coastlines, one on the Tyrrhenian Sea between Campania and Calabria, and a longer coastline along the Gulf of Taranto between Calabria and Apulia.
The region can be thought of as the “instep” of Italy, with Calabria functioning as the “toe” and Apulia the “heel”.
The regional capital is Potenza.
The region is divided into two provinces: Potenza and Matera.
Matera was elected European Capital of Culture in 2019.
NATIONAL ARCHAELOGICAL MUSEUM OF UMBRIA
Set up in 1948 in the convent of San Domenico, the collection began to take shape in the late 18th century thanks to the donation and purchase of materials from archaeological digs performed mostly in the region.
The museum is divided into sections dedicated to the prehistoric/protohistoric eras and to the Etruscan-Roman period, with objects from the Palaeolithic era to the 3rd century A.D. and various collections of amulets.
