Not the month we would pick

We do not currently list a town in Basilicata we would send you to in January, and we would rather say that than pad the page. The months that score highest here are September, October and June.

Somewhere else, or some other month

Next door in January: Campania, Apulia, Calabria.

Basilicata through the year: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Or the whole country: Italy in January, and every town in Basilicata.

The Sunday letter

The 1,000 Italian towns most travelers skip.

Every Sunday we send one letter. The week's town, what is worth eating there, and when to turn up. It is free, and you can leave whenever you like.
