Colobraro, Mountain settlement in Basilicata, Italy
Colobraro stands at 630 meters elevation on Mount Calvario's southern slopes, offering views across the Sinni River valley toward the Ionian Sea.
The town's Latin name derives from 'coluber' meaning serpent, and throughout centuries it developed as an agricultural center in the Matera province.
The residents celebrate Saint Nicholas as their patron saint on May 7th with traditional festivities and religious ceremonies throughout the town.
Located 80 kilometers from Matera and 130 kilometers from Potenza, Colobraro maintains connections with neighboring towns including Valsinni, Tursi, and Rotondella.
Local inhabitants refer to their town as 'Chillu Paese' in dialect, following a superstition that speaking its actual name brings misfortune.
