Places to see in ( Potenza - Italy )
Potenza is a city and comune in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata. Capital of the Province of Potenza and the Basilicata region, the city is the highest regional capital and one of the highest provincial capitals in Italy, overlooking the valley of the Basento river in the Apennine Mountains of Lucania, east of Salerno. Its territory is bounded by the comuni of Anzi, Avigliano, Brindisi Montagna, Picerno, Pietragalla, Pignola, Ruoti, Tito and Vaglio Basilicata.
The first settlement of Potentia (Potenza's original Latin name) was probably located at a lower elevation than at present, some 10 kilometres (6 miles) south of today's Potenza. The Lucani of Potentia sided against Rome's enemies during the latter's wars against the Samnites and the Bruttii. In the following years of Late Middle Ages, the city was owned by various feudal families before the Spanish domination, during which Potenza was the site of riots against the Spaniards. In 1694, it was almost completely destroyed by another earthquake.

Matera in One Minute (Italy, Basilicata Region)
Here we present you Matera in one minute along with ten fun facts. To begin with, Matera, in Southern Italy, is the second oldest continuously-inhabited town after Petra. By some estimates, it's been inhabited since 15,000 B.C. For other trivia, you'll have to watch the video :)
Our One Minute series aims to distill the experience of a place down to a one minute video. Our goal is for other travelers to succinctly get a taste of what that place is like, like trying a sample at a cookie shop. Hopefully, after one taste, you, the traveler, will want to experience it for yourself.
