Proud Pisticci -3

Many significant aspects distinguish the history of Pisticci, starting from the presence of several necropolis that testify to the presence of the first settlements in the territory in the tenth century BC, by the Enotri, while, later, the area of the Ionian coast is colonized by the Greeks.

 

In Pisticci between the 5th and 4th centuries BC the Painter of Pisticci works, considered the first to have adopted red-figure painting in the colonies of Magna Graecia for the decoration of the vases. Today many of his works are kept at the British Museum in London.
