Avigliano — Il Maggio di Avigliano
Basilicata
Avigliano's Maggio festival sees a massive fir trunk cut in the surrounding forest and dragged into town to be symbolically "married" to a smaller topped tree, one of several such tree-marriage traditions found across Basilicata. Outside festival time, the surrounding chestnut and beech woods offer quiet, easy countryside walking.
