San Paolo Albanese
Description
San Paolo Albanese is one of the smallest villages of Basilicata, located in the heart of the National Park of the Pollino. Part of the State of Noia (today Noepoli), the village was uninhabited for a long while, until it was colonized by a group of Albanian refugees from Koroni, during the Turkish occupation of their country. The local inhabitants still keep alive a lot of the Albanians traditions, usages, customs and they also speak an Albanian dialect.
