Maratea, a wonderful tourist city

Maratea - Today we are in Maratea, an enchanting place, defined as a beautiful woman that everyone would woo. According to the stories of the town's elders, Maratea was a pastoral people, without a relevant seafaring culture. In 1953, an industrialist from Biella, Stefano Rivetti, fell in love with this incredible city and initiated it into tourism.

It has changed its social, economic and cultural aspect. In 1965 he built the port and the Statue of Christ, which turned over fifty years old. Industrial sites appear which cannot be interpreted as tourism development but which encourage local growth. Let's not forget that all this happened in Basilicata, a land populated by wonderful people who are reluctant to change. The Lucanians are people who care about their land and do everything to stay in their land. Many things have changed since then, one of the most important being the approach to the tourist, who honors the villagers to spend their holidays in their land. In fact, Maratea thrives on tourism and over the years it has done so as to give the tourist a unique and unrepeatable experience.
