In this finale on Sunday, we admire Venosa, The most beautiful village in Italy in the province of Potenza, Basilicata.
In Venosa, cultures, religions and expressions of art can be leafed through like an open book. Samnites, Romans, Jews, Goths, Lombards, Saracens, Byzantines, Normans, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese, Spaniards have left their mark in this district of southern Italy.
Crossing Venosa from one end to the other is like stroll through history, and the spirit of the place is therefore in this mute presence of Time.
He wrote Edward Lear, English traveler, painter and writer: "Venosa, a picturesque and evocative landscape when ever, sadly enchanting. So many delicate beauties, and ancient vestiges in such a limited space, are not often seen".
