Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, Garaguso

Calciano sits in the hilly interior of Basilicata in the valley system of the Basento river, with clay hills, cultivated slopes and small wooded sections around the villages. The area is on the edge of the Parco Regionale di Gallipoli Cognato e delle Dolomiti Lucane, whose forested relief and sandstone peaks rise nearby around Accettura and Castelmezzano. Matera is the nearest city of size, with full services and the Sassi UNESCO site, but it is outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for inland Lucanian hill country and, nearby, for the Dolomiti Lucane formations and the forest of Gallipoli Cognato.
