Savoia di Lucania is a town and community in the province of Potenza in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata.
The original name of the village was Salvia, but it was altered at the end of the 19th century to Savoia di Lucania after a local resident, Giovanni Passannante, attempted to take the life of King Umberto I di Savoia on November 17th, 1878.
Italian students and Italian teachers were very friendly with us. They welcomed us with some songs:
In the evening all the town celebrated a party in the square. Parents, students, teachers and the local authorities accompanied us. The mothers of the town prepared us a homecooked meal and the students showed some medieval traditional dances:
It was a very festive, warm greeting with merriment all around. The men of the town built a magnificent bonfire. Thank you very much to all the people in Savoia di Lucania.
