Regina Viarum
About the Photos:
Via Appia Antica, also known as "Regina Viarum", is one of the most important roads built by the Romans. It crosses Basilicata from Venosa to Genzano di Lucania and it’s included in the Unesco World Heritage sites since 2024.
The road intersects some places involved by a great land reform in the 50s of the 20th century. But the reform proved to be a failure and now much of what was built in those years is abandoned or in ruins.
Today, in the same places, even the Via Appia Antica is only partially visible and it is quite abandoned, in a sort of desolating "harmony" with the surroundings.
