Known locally as "il paese dei portali" — the town of doorways — Pignola is a small mountain town in Basilicata's Potenza province, where the historic centre is lined with decorated stone portals. The surrounding territory rises from wooded valleys to the peak of Mount Serranetta, and the nearby Lake Pantano di Pignola sits within a WWF nature reserve. The area also holds several historic churches for its size, with vineyards in the surrounding landscape.
