Get to know Ripacandida

The small village in the province of Potenza, Basilicata has a historic medieval city center. It contains baronial palaces dating back to 1700 and 1800. Among the best known is the ancient Casa Lioy, a mansion built around the year 1089, on foundations from an earlier period. Also important is the ancient noble residence of Palazzo Baffari-Rossi, formerly a Carmelite convent during the 18th century, today the town hall. The lower floor of the building houses the Ripacandida Civic Art Gallery.

In addition to the historical and artistic richness, Ripacandida does not disappoint in the nature department. Situated on a hill, the city is surrounded by woods and nature, keeping the climate cool all year round, without ever getting too cold.

The typical cuisine of Ripacandida

The braid is the characteristic braided shape bread is called “Ruciulatieggh”. The origin of this type of bread is unknown and does not exist in neighboring cities and villages. Prepared by housewives, it was then cooked in the ovens of the houses.

“I rucuilatieggh” were prepared with a mixture of flour, oil, water, fennel seeds, eggs, salt and yeast and then polished with egg yolk. The tradition continues in the bakeries that prepare it on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Easter bread is another type of braid prepared only in Ripacandida, called “Scarceggh” in dialectal form. It consists of a braid dough made in the shape of a cone, where an egg half inside and half outside is placed at the top, not cooked, which will be cooked together with the dough in the oven. Everything is closed by a cross always of the same mixture. There is still another variant, that of adding a “handle”, as if it were a bag.
