With the annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to the Kingdom of Italy, a type of guerrilla warfare was unleashed against the House of Savoy, better known as 'post-unification brigandage'.. The disregarded allocation of state-owned lands due to the heavy debt of the House of Savoy and the increase in taxes and cost of essential goods were the main causes of the revolt, which many historians believe to be one of the first civil wars in contemporary Italy.
The fertile volcanic soil surrounding Mount Vulture is the ideal habitat for the production of one of Italy's greatest red wines, Aglianico del Vulture DOCG.Its origins are very ancient: it was probably introduced to our country by the Greeks around the 7th-6th centuries BC.
Frederick II of Swabia, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, a charismatic figure in the history of the South, loved Basilicata and, in particular, Vulture. Numerous traces of his passage are scattered here, starting from Melfi, where the castle that he enlarged and modified still stands, witness to events that have made history.
During Holy Week there are many representations in Vulture linked to the sacred drama of the Passion. Among these, the ones in Atella, Rionero in Vulture and Rapolla are very suggestive.
