The southern Italian region of Basilicata, also known as Lucania, is shown to us by a woman who was born there, and her young son. The Sanctuary of the Madonna in Anglona is where they start off.

Our guides bring us to the very old and picturesque Rabatana quarter of Tursi, and to Craco, where the ghost of Isabella Morra, a 16th century poet, is said to roam about the ruins.

The tour of Basilicata closes with verses of Isabella Morra and British travel writer, Norman Douglas. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Ionian coastline, the young traveler gives some tips on mastering the Lucan dialect.
