Exploring Italy - Trip in Basilicata

Last Monday was a great holiday in Italy and we decided to take a trip. For a long time we intended to go to "Agriturismo" in Basilicata. "Agriturismo" is a restaurant-farm. They use their own products to cook and their dishes are very tasty! This restaurant is located in Rotondella in Basilicata, about 150 km from Brindisi. It is called "Bosco dei sapori" - Forest of Flavors, and it's a very right name! Everyting was delicious!

This is Rotondella - small antique town situated on the hill.


The view of Basilicata from the center of the town. Isn't it gorgeous?
After lunch we took a look around the farm.
(So cute)

This is a baby goat . It is only 4 hours old!!!

Sheepdog "Maremmano" - a famouse dog breed from Abruzzo. He is sleeping now.

So many cats))


In the forest nearby I found some mushrooms.

Surprise on the road

Yesterday when we was going to the beach the road has been crossed… by a flock of sheep! I had a feeling that we are not in Puglia, but in Abruzzo or in Alpi. In the beginning and at the end of flock was going two dogs shepherd maremmani-abruzzesi – big white dogs that looked exactly like sheeps. Near the flock was a shepherd-man with three german shepherds.

Ieri quando andavamo con lo scooter al mare la strada è stata attravesata… da un branco di pecore! Avevo il senso che siamo non in Puglia, ma in Abruzzo o nelle Alpi. All’inizio e alla fine del branco c’erano due pastori maremmani-abruzzesi – grandi cani bianchi, che sembravano altre pecore. Vicino alla testa del branco camminava il pastore accompagnato da tre cani pastori tedeschi.
