Alianello Vecchio: ghost village perched on a rocky spur

The ruins of Alianello Vecchio, an abandoned village located on a rocky spur in the province of Matera. The buildings, now abandoned and in a state of partial degradation, bear witness to a difficult past, marked in particular by the earthquake of 1857. The surrounding landscape, which includes the hills of Basilicata, gives a natural context of remarkable visual impact, which integrates with the austere character of the ruins.
