Basilicata: a land steeped in history and gastronomy.
Historically known to the ancient Romans as Lucania, this region in the South of Italy is now known worldwide as Basilicata.
A land full of history and flavors, its chief town, Potenza, has been chosen as the European Capital of Culture in 2019 and recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The medieval villages, nestled in the middle of sea and mountains, paint a breath-taking scenery that will make you instantly fall in love with this marvelous corner of Italy.
An entire week will be dedicated to the traditions of Basilicata in more than 10 restaurants with a sensational offer, which will make you feel the warmth of South Italy even in the windy streets of Berlin.
Carpe Diem: Strascinati with lamb ragout.
10 restaurants and an exceptional offer
During the event 10 restaurants will offer an olive oil tasting and a traditional Lucanian recipe accompanied by a glass of red wine (Aglianico del Vulture or Lucanian Primitivo) for no more than 15€.

Basilicata Week 2023: how to join this wonderful event?
To savor the uniqueness of Basilicata in the German capital you just have to step in one of the aforementioned restaurants and ask for the Basilicata menu.
Every restaurant will have its own unique menu. However, among this whirlwind of flavors and aromas, there will be two typical products that will anchor Lucania to your palate: a glass of wine (Aglianico or Primitivo) and a little bottle of fine olive oil to be savored on a slice of bread.
On every bottle there will be a printed QR code that will transport to the fields from where this products come from, thanks to a brief video.
A little taste of this olive oil was enough to hook you in and now you’re already looking out for more?
Don’t worry, you can buy it for a special price at our event.
Who to thank for this amazing event?
The Basilicata Week 2023 is organized by Federazione delle Associazioni Lucane in Germania and by Regione Basilicata that have partenered up with True Italian, already renowned as ambassadors of Italian cuisine in Germany.
