Fardella.
This village is situated in a valley of the National
Park of Pollino. Its origins seem to date back to
the Longobard domination. It is generally thought
that the name ‘Fardella’ comes from the
name of Luigi Sanseverino’s wife, Princess Maria
Fardella.
In the centre of this village there are the palace
from the XVI century that used to belong to the De
Salvio family and also the Main Church, 1703, dedicated
to Sant’Antonio da Padova, patron of this village.
Fardella is surrounded by rich woods, such as the
Serra Cerrone Wood, the Mesole Wood and the Piano
di Molinaro Wood, where, in autumn, it is possible
to pick up several types of mushrooms. These woods
offer playgrounds for children and beautiful paths
for excursions.
Outside the village there is ‘Parco Barbattavio’,
a sports centre.
