In the province of Matera lies one of the most interesting villages in the whole of Basilicata: it is Tricarico, a small town located at an altitude of 698 m. above sea level, set in the most typical hilly scenery of Basilicata.

History, art and traditions make Tricarico a must-visit village, also in light of its beautiful historic center, among the best preserved in the entire region. Any time of the year is the best time to discover Tricarico's artistic and historical heritage. In January, the village comes alive thanks to the music and colors of Carnival, which, with its anthropological masks, attracts visitors from all over Basilicata.
