VisitTricarico was born from a group of people who decided to tell the story of Tricarico as it deserves: with care, true images, and useful information for those who want to discover it. We want to be transparent from the beginning. Today this is an independent and voluntary project, tomorrow we don't know: we built it in our free time, without compensation, and it is not an official website of the Municipality. The sole objective is to promote Tricarico — its Arab-Norman history, its masks, its people — and give it the space it deserves online. We know that today it is not perfect: some content is still incomplete and others need to be improved. And it is right to say so — this portal will never be "finished", because it is an evolving project that grows and enriches itself one step at a time. Passion alone is not enough to keep a project alive over time: a website has management costs and requires constant work to stay updated and grow. For this reason, to continue and improve, we need support. We are open to contributions, collaborations, and sponsorships from those who believe in this work and want to help us make it sustainable over time. Special thanks go to Pasquale Lamarra, whose splendid photographs tell the soul of Tricarico on many pages of this portal. You can help us right now: with beautiful photos, reports, corrections, or simply by making the portal known. If you want to support the project or propose a collaboration, write to us. Whatever happens, our commitment to Tricarico will always be maximum. Thank you for being here.
