Founded by the powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Samnites#:~:text=Les%20Samnites%20sont%20parmi%20les,celui%20de%20la%20cit%C3%A9%20romaine.\">Samnites<\/a>, It was conquered by the Romans in 291 BC and became Venusia. The strategic importance of this major crossroads on the legendary Via Appia, the \u00abqueen of Roman roads\u00bb, was colossal. It was here, around 65 BC, that Venusia's most illustrious son was born: the lyrical poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, better known as the\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Horace\">Horace<\/a>, We are invited to examine the bronze statue and the hypothetical house where he was born, on which there is a sonnet in Latin, translated here for our non-Latin-speaking readers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\">\u00a0\u00bbAs a child, I ventured out of the house of Pullia, my nurse. On the mountain <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mont_Vultur\">Vulture<\/a>, In Puglia, fabulous doves came and covered me with green fronds as I slept, tired from the games, so that I could sleep safe from black vipers and bears, covered with leaves of sacred laurel and myrtle, and as if I were this child full of courage and protected by the gods: this prodigy would have appeared to those who live at the top of the highest mountains in the world. <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Acerenza\">Acerenza<\/a>, in the Bantini woods and the fertile Forento plain.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>After the fall of Rome, the town came under Byzantine and Lombard domination, before experiencing its golden age under Norman rule in the 11th century, notably with the <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maison_de_Hauteville\">Hauteville<\/a>, who left a spectacular architectural legacy. Between Roman ruins and Christian mysteries, Venosa's charm lies in the concentration of exceptional sites that bear witness to these different eras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-l-abbaye-de-la-santissima-trinita-et-l-incompiuta\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LAbbaye_de_la_Santissima_Trinita_et_lIncompiuta\"><\/span>The Abbey of the Santissima Trinit\u00e0 and the Incompiuta<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/vue_8185-1K-JPEG.jpg\" alt=\"Italy.

Portrait of an extraordinary conqueror whose legacy still haunts the lands of Basilicata.<br>Of the sons of Tancr\u00e8de de Hauteville who left to seek their fortune in Italy, Robert is undoubtedly the one who best lived up to his nickname. Guiscard, \u00abthe cunning, the shrewd\u00bb, was not just a fearsome mercenary; he was a political strategist capable of turning his enemies into allies, and vice versa.  While Puglia and Calabria were his strongholds, Basilicata (the heart of medieval Lucania) was the laboratory of his power. Under his impetus, the region emerged from Byzantine influence and entered the Latin era. It was in Melfi, in Basilicata, that Guiscard established his nerve centre. Melfi Castle became the scene of papal councils and the place where Norman feudalism was codified. He dotted the region with imposing fortresses to guard the strategic routes to the sea. These structures radically transformed the landscape, shifting settlement from caves and open villages to fortified cities. By founding or supporting monasteries such as that of the Santissima Trinit\u00e0 in Venosa, Robert imposed the Latin rite over Greek Orthodox traditions, definitively anchoring Basilicata in the orbit of the Catholic West.<br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"><strong>The duel with the Papacy: From excommunication to an iron alliance<\/strong><br>The relationship between Robert Guiscard and the Holy See is a veritable diplomatic thriller. Initially, the Pope took a very dim view of these \u00abNorman brigands\u00bb who were nibbling away at Italian lands. In 1053, during the <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bataille_de_Civitate\">Battle of Civitate<\/a>, Robert captures the <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/L%C3%A9on_IX\">Pope Leo IX<\/a>. This was a major turning point. Instead of humiliating him, he prostrated himself before him, aware that the legitimacy of his conquests required divine unction. Through the <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trait%C3%A9_de_Melfi\">Melfi Pact<\/a> (1059), a master stroke, Robert swore loyalty to Pope Nicholas II. In exchange, he was invested Duke of Apulia, Calabria and Sicily. The outlaw officially became the armed wing of the Church. Later, when Pope Gregory VII was besieged by the German Emperor Henry IV, Guiscard flew to his aid. But his troops plundered the Eternal City so violently that the Pope had to flee under his protection, leaving a devastated Rome behind him...<br><strong>A heritage of stone and blood<\/strong><br>Robert Guiscard died in 1085, leaving a solid Norman empire and a lineage that would rule Sicily. In Basilicata, his name remains engraved in the stone of the Abbey of Venosa, where the members of the Hauteville family are buried. More than just an adventurer and mercenary conqueror, he was the architect of a unified Southern Italy, capable of challenging the two greatest empires of his time: Byzantium and the Holy Roman Empire...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-le-parc-archeologique-de-venosa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_Parc_Archeologique_de_Venosa\"><\/span>Venosa Archaeological Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Venosa_-_chiesa_incompiuta_-parc-archeologique_Pipito93_202209012250.jpeg\" alt=\"Italy.
