Beautiful! 🤩
FYI: "Basilicata" comes from the Greek basilikos (βασιλικός), ref: the "basileus" the Byzantine emperors (532-1059 AD), but before was called "Lucania" (Latin: lucis/lucere [light/to shine] +place of), which is why the people are called "Lucano/a" (or in English "Lucanian"), and rarely "Basilicatesi". ☝🏼🤓
I appreciate you adding on! 🙂
