Subjects :The main subject is certainly the Castello di Policoro (also known as Palazzo Baronale or Palazzo Berlinghieri), a historic residence dating back to the 8th century that was built by the Basilian monks who built it in monastery. In 1700 the structure was acquired by a princess of the Serra Gerace family who made it into a noble house. After restoration works carried out in recent years, the structure is used as a venue for weddings and events.
Recommended equipment :The necessary equipment is an easel and a bright wise angle indispensable to resume the darkest accommodations where it lacks artificial lighting.
