Near Tolve, on the border between the Murge Plateau and the first foothills of the Lucanian Apennines, the spring landscape presents itself in all its lush beauty. The hills, covered with brilliant green, show soft and rounded shapes typical of this geological transition zone. The sky, dominated by majestic cumulus clouds, adds drama to the scene. Tolve, a small Lucanian town known for the sanctuary of San Rocco, is located in a privileged position offering panoramic views of this territory of great landscape value. The green pastures contrast with the plowed land in the foreground.
