Basilicata is distinguished by its extraordinarily unspoilt and wild landscapes, in which villages with a remote atmosphere where time passes slowly are embedded. This is the region where man is confronted with spectacular natural monuments, finding himself challenging them as happens in the villages of Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa with the Volo dell’Angelo (Angel’s Flight) or in Sasso di Castalda, which can be nicknamed by reason as “the village of Tibetan bridges”.
Sasso di Castalda, most of whose territory falls within the beautiful Lucano Val d’Angri Lagonegrese Apennine National Park, is 800 metres above sea level, perched like a crib on the so-called Saxum, a rock that is part of the Arioso and Pierfaone mountain complex.
