From the ancient Masseria (farm) of the family La Barbera, known as the “Cirenei”, in 1952 was born Oasi Basciana, exactly in the countryside Basciana, a hilly territory surrounded by a green frame of secular woods.
It was in far 1952 when the Massari (farmers) Tore and Minca (known as so in the countryside), inheriting a part of the ownership from their parents, decided to begin to lay down one stone after another… those were years of sacrifices and love for the family.
As they arrived on the place, the Massari found only a raw part of the woods of Basciana, which they thought well to improve by cleaning up and creating the bases to build a real farm, so they could also bring forth their ancient activity of breeders and Massari that were handed down by father to son.
But, before building some farmhouses for residency, cow-sheds and sheepfolds for the breeding, hen-pens, pigsties and warehouses where to stock the annual crop, the Massari thought well to create a source of water, “u pozzo” (the well), having casually seen on the place a point of spring water that still feeds up to today the property. After that the Masseria was built completely.
From that moment the Massari tried to progress in their activity, increasing jobs to other people and trying to humbly grow their family… until reaching the 1980s, when, as for tradition, they handed down their activity to their children. To bring the farm up to today was one of their children along with his family, which improving it more and more made it a RECOGNIZED AGRITURISMO (agricultural tourist site).

This is how was born... “OASI BASCIANA”
