Towards Oppido Lucano: Shadows and Lights on the Lucanian Murgia Hills

The road to Oppido Lucano crosses a landscape where light plays with the shapes of hills creating dramatic effects. Clouds cast dark shadows on the ground, creating a mosaic of illuminated and shaded areas that constantly changes. The fields, with their different shades of green and brown, testify to the various phases of agricultural work. Oppido Lucano, a small Lucanian town perched on a hill, is located on the eastern edge of the Murge Plateau, in a transition zone towards the internal valleys of Basilicata. This view captures the changing nature of the Murgian landscape.
