Basilicata

Italy

Basilicata, a southern Italian region, carries 189 Bunkabop connections spanning 10954 places across 21 topics, with history and cuisine forming its two largest clusters. Its food connections run deep: pasta mollicata is documented as a poor man's dish from the region, and lucanica sausage traces to the ancient territory of Lucania. The Appian Way extended into the region after Rome's conquest of Taranto in 272 BC, linking Basilicata to Rome and Apulia in both ancient and modern connection clusters. The Sassi di Matera add an architecture thread.
