To reach San Brancato this bridge is still closed, which forces a detour along the rather busy SS 598

Beautiful stretch of road that connects Vituri to Alianello Nuovo. There is a viewpoint from which you can admire the gullies of Aliano.

Shortly after crossing the Basento stream, between Grassano and Garaguso, a light and very panoramic climb takes you towards the latter Lucanian municipality. The road is well asphalted, completely traffic-free and perfect for enjoying the typical landscapes of this area of Basilicata.
