Provincial road 669 leading to Irsina crosses one of the most characteristic stretches of Lucanian Murgia. In this spring image, the hills show their greenest face, with fields beginning to sprout after winter rains. The line of bare trees on the crest of the hill creates a graphic profile that stands out against the blue sky. Irsina, known as the "Tuscany of the South" for the beauty of its territory, dominates this portion of the Murge Plateau. The spring vegetation, still low, reveals the soft lines of the terrain, shaped by millennia of agricultural activity.
