Lavello, Agricultural town in Province of Potenza, Italy
Lavello extends across a rocky headland overlooking the central Ofanto River valley, with elevations reaching 313 meters above sea level.
The settlement transformed from a Daunian village into Forentum under Roman rule, later becoming a significant Byzantine center and bishopric seat from 1025.
The town maintains traditional craftsmanship specializing in hammered copper and wrought iron work, contributing to regional artisanal heritage.
Local agriculture focuses on the production of cereals, grapes, olives, vegetables, and beet, supporting the regional food industry.
The Norman castle features two underground tunnels: one for military purposes and another traditionally reserved for welcoming newly-wed brides.
