 Castelmezzano in Basilicata, Italy. This little village and its twin Pietrapertosa cling dramatically to the jagged Lucanian Dolomites connected by Italy’s most thrilling zip line, Volvo d’Angelo.

they offer cinematic views, winding stone lanes and a raw untouched beauty that feels a world away from Italy’s tourist trail.
