Via Pomarico, Pisticci

The cluster sits in the low hills and cultivated countryside around Pisticci, with olive groves, vineyards and cereal fields. No major mountain range or national park lies within about 15 km. The nearest local settlements include Pisticci's frazioni (Marconia/Pisticci Scalo) and the nearby town of Bernalda; the city of Matera (with the Sassi UNESCO site) is the nearest city of significant size. The Ionian coast and the Metaponto coastal plain lie to the southeast and are served by the SS106 coastal road and the Ionian rail corridor. Local land use and economy are dominated by agriculture and small-town services, with coastal resorts farther down the plain.
