The name “San Fele” derives from “Felice,” who was once the owner of most of the land in this area. But what truly makes San Fele unique are its waterfalls<\/strong>, a testament to the power of the waters that flow through this land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the heart of the Lucanian Apennines<\/strong>, the Bradanello Stream originates, one of the main watercourses in Basilicata. It flows toward the Atella<\/strong> River and later joins the Ofanto<\/strong> River, which empties into the Adriatic Sea<\/strong>. This watercourse passes through the municipality of San Fele, in the province of Potenza, where it encounters numerous elevation changes. These drops create a series of spectacular waterfalls<\/strong>, known as the San Fele Waterfalls system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
