LucaHOST
The last three years, the average neighborhood across Italy, not just across these towns, across Italy is up 2%, and more neighborhoods rose than fell.
LucaHOST
Every region is positive except for Lazio, again, the region around Rome, Molise, just between Abruzzo and Puglia, Sicily and Basilicata.
LucaHOST
Puglia, which did really badly over 10 years, is actually up 3% over the past three years.
LucaHOST
And we can see that a lot of people want to move to Puglia.
Scott MaxwellHOST
It's extraordinary and an easy detour from Bari or a central Puglia base.
Scott MaxwellHOST
It's not actually in Puglia, it sits just over the border in Basilicata, and that's worth including in almost any itinerary.
Scott MaxwellHOST
Shaping Puglia by trip length.
Scott MaxwellHOST
Three to four nights, this is the bolt-on.
Benny LewisHOST
Um, and I'll spend another week in Bari itself, and both of these are in Puglia, which is a completely new region for me.
Benny LewisHOST
And the other new regions I'll be visiting on this trip will be, uh, let's see, Basilicata, Molise, Abruzzo, Marche, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Benny LewisHOST
And I'll, I'll also be returning to Emilia-Romagna, which is where Bologna is based, and I'll stay there for probably a whole month.
Benny LewisHOST
So some of that route is still at the planning stage, but if it all works out, I'll have visited 17 of Italy's 20 regions, just leaving one in mainland Italy left over, as well as the big islands, Sardinia and Sicily, to complete the country at some stage.
CharlesHOST
It's, uh, uh...
CharlesHOST
Is it Basilicata? I don't know.
NickHOST
Oh, yeah.
NickHOST
Okay.
CharlesHOST
I don't remember.
NickHOST
Basilicata?
CharlesHOST
Yeah.
CharlesHOST
I don't remember exactly where it's from, but it's awesome.
Ed CutlerGUEST
It's so important for understanding the nature.
Ed CutlerGUEST
I mean, a bit further south of Rocca Monfina, Montevultore is the other one I loved in Basilicata.
Ed CutlerGUEST
Absolutely beautiful.
Ed CutlerGUEST
The lakes of Monticchio, it preserves one of the rarest moths in the entire world there.
9 MINS LATER
Ed CutlerGUEST
So that's a great place to go.
Ed CutlerGUEST
I would also say that Calabria, I think for me, is so wild and beautiful and rugged and amazing.
Ed CutlerGUEST
And I think that where Basilicata meets Calabria there, the Polino National Park, which is Italy's largest national park, I was blown away by that landscape.
Ed CutlerGUEST
I think that was, I'm dying to go back and explore it some more.
Greg YoungHOST
With this increase of the poverty and disease and overpopulation, and of course, you know, not just high taxes, but then a lot of corrupt government, corrupt churches, even at this period, almost all the Italian immigration that would happen after that date would come from the South.
Greg YoungHOST
So if you're looking at a map, Italy as the boot and football, the regions that are basically like the foot part of the boot, Basilicata and Campania and Calabria.
Greg YoungHOST
Then, of course, Sicily, of course.
Greg YoungHOST
Those would be the areas where most of the immigration would come from into the United States during this period.
Joseph WalkerGUEST
I don't know where it's at, but we're going.
Joseph WalkerGUEST
And so I got to do Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily before they were ever really on, you know, the main tourism
Jake BushmanHOST
trails.
Jake BushmanHOST
When you think of tourism, too, in Italy, you know what comes to mind for me? And I've never been to Italy, but, you know, Rome.
Léa MarchalHOST
The gains expected in real wages are less than 1%, but they are spread across almost every EU region.
Léa MarchalHOST
Only a few places would experience a negative impact, such as Basilicata in southern Italy or parts of Greece.
Léa MarchalHOST
Now, many actors are worried about the potential harm Mercosur products could have on EU agri-food production.
Léa MarchalHOST
And this is a particularly local issue, given the specificities of EU regions.
Edward CutlerGUEST
Um, And those volcanoes have continued to provide these ecological niches for many different species.
Edward CutlerGUEST
My favorite being the moth, basically, in Basilicata, in Montevultre, which has managed to survive the from beyond the Ice Age.
Edward CutlerGUEST
I think it's probably from Miocene era.
Edward CutlerGUEST
But it's clung on in one little tiny corner of a forest on the edge of Monte Vultura, this extinct volcano in Basilicata.
Edward CutlerGUEST
Absolutely astonishing.
Edward CutlerGUEST
So yeah, volcanoes are everything.
