About us

Basilicata Roots is the first web-tv dedicated to Lucanians around the world, a spin-off of the webmagazine Basilicata Media.

A platform, hosting mainly live and on-demand video content, where communities can become communities, meet, tell their stories and learn about, or recognize, Basilicata, its places and traditions.

A virtual space to bring communities together, foster and incentivize “roots tourism,” and generate professional synergies and opportunities for employment and economic development.

Basilicata Roots was born as an editorial response to a need that the communities of Lucanians abroad have repeatedly expressed publicly: to reconnect their history to contemporaneity, through generational reconnection, both among themselves and with resident-residents in Basilicata, and by reversing the narrative of the migration phenomenon, through storytelling with contemporary formats and audiovisual products.
