Album Info:

The name Maratea maybe comes from the Greek colonisers arrived here during Magna Graecia age, to recall a famous Greek town, Maratona. According to another hypothesis, the name comes from Thea Maris that is Sea Goddess. Maratea was first inhabited during Palaeolithic age. At the beginning of VI century b.C., some people coming from the inner territories of the region settled here. They created small rural villages. The mouths of the rivers (Bussento, Noce, Lao) were the natural landing place for many people, arriving there to created new colonies, for example Greek colonisers which met the local populations. According to tradition, around VIII century b.C. the town was founded on Mountain ("S. Biagio") by Greek colonisers
