From an elevated observation point, the landscape of Lucanian Murgia reveals itself in all its complexity. The fields, in different stages of cultivation, create a natural mosaic of extraordinary beauty: golden plots of ripe wheat alternate with brown plowed land and patches of green vegetation. The round bales scattered on the harvested fields add geometric elements to the composition. Near Genzano di Lucania, this view from above allows appreciation of how agriculture has shaped the territory over millennia, creating a unique landscape where each season brings a different palette of colors.
