Pisticci

Overview

Pisticci is a small town in Lucania overlooking the Ionian Sea, immersed in a landscape of rare beauty, combining gentle hills with the marvel of the coastline and the limpid sea that bathes the town's beaches. Famous for the 'Painter of Pisticci', considered the progenitor of the Lucanian factory and the first master of red-figure ceramics in Italy, this is a sun-kissed village, a place where nature and the presence of the sea have woven an identity made up of travel, hospitality and wonderful contamination. It was the birthplace of Ernesto Bruno Lapadula, the architect of the Palace of Italian Civilisation, known as the Square Coliseum built in Rome in the 1930s. But a central role is still played by traditions, the traces of which have remained even in the products that have become world-famous today: the label of the amaro, produced here, depicts the traditional female dress of the village.
