Discovering Basilicata uncovers this little known region of Southern Italy, formerly known as "Lucania." The focus of this softcover book is the ancient cuisine of the area, dating back to the Middle Ages, with discussions of some of the prominent towns and locations, including photographs. Basilicata is a region from which thousands of Italians migrated to the United States around the turn of the 20th century, yet has been overshadowed by the more high profile cities and resorts in Italy. The author became aware of the region when he visited there in 1996 to pay homage to his maternal grandmother. The book is presented in both Italian and English to add to its authentic nature and to encourage its readers to learn a little bit about another language.
