Beautiful stretch of road that connects Vituri to Alianello Nuovo. There is a viewpoint from which you can admire the gullies of Aliano.

Various everyday objects left there, almost in a hurry, occupy the heart. Arranged but practical and functional construction styles ask for movement for the mind. In the end the silence, created by the wind and the birds, make one think of desolation and the abandonment of one's loved ones. A unique place that MUST be visited... but in silence, without breaking the peace created upstream of the gullies. This is also Basilicata 🥰

The town is above all famous for hosting Carlo Levi during his confinement in the south during the Fascist era. Levi was in fact an opponent of Mussolini's regime and in these places he wrote his famous novel "Christ Stopped at Eboli". Aliano is the place where the novel is set even if in the book it is called Gagliano.
