Campomaggiore.
This village was built in a panoramic view, facing
the wonderful Dolomiti Lucane.
Its name comes from a Roman camp called ‘Campus
Maior’ that used to be in this area.
This village was abandoned in 1600 and then repopulated
in 1673 by the Rendina Earls. In 1885 a landslide
seriously damaged the old village, now known as ‘Campomaggiore
Vecchio’, forcing people to move to the place
where the centre is now.
Inside the village there is the beautiful Parish
Church, were a painting of the ‘Madonna col
Bambino’, XVII century, attributed to the painter
Nicola Peccheneda, is kept.
The cronoscalata of Campomaggiore is an important
event.
