Commune in the province of Potenza

This village has Angevin origins. As a fief, it belonged to the Riario family and during the Bourbon domination it was an active liberal centre.

Inside the village there is the interesting Main Church of Santa Maria Assunta (1600). It has a two-floor bell tower and a dome in Arabic style.

The only remains of the old feudal Castle are some arcades that were used for the building of the ‘Palazzo degli Uffici’, in ‘Piazza Plebiscito’, also called ‘Il Fosso’, because it was here that the moat surrounding the Castle was.

Near the village there is the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Stella, who is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.

This village is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, mountains and woods that create a picturesque landscape, thus attracting the attention of many tourists.
