Via Vincenzo Valinoti Latorraca, Moliterno

The cluster sits in the Lucanian Apennines (Appennino Lucano): locally hilly to low-mountain terrain with higher peaks of the range visible within short drives. The Agri river and the Val d'Agri lie within the local catchment and form the main river valley landscape nearby. Land use around the town is a mix of cultivated fields (cereals and olives), pasture and areas of chestnut and oak woodland. The Appennino Lucano Val d'Agri Lagonegrese national park protects mountain and valley areas in this part of Basilicata and park territory lies in the wider Val d'Agri nearby. Local services are provided by small nearby towns; the provincial capital Potenza is the nearest city with full hospital and provincial-level services. The area is inland Basilicata countryside rather than a coastal or major-tourism district and its economy is mainly agricultural and forest-related.
