Its full name in modern times is Canosa di Puglia, and it was a Greek polis, part of Magna Graecia, the Greek colonies in Italy. That gives you enough info to crawl the web - also look for Canosan ware, Canosa vases, a subset of Apulian ceramics.

The Slancio (The Leap)
Monumento ad Alessidamo (Monument to Alessidamo)
Donato Linzalata (1942–2022)
2006
Laminated steel sheets, concrete base
6 x 3 meters (20 x 10 feet)
Metaponto Lido
Basilicata, Italy
Photo: September 29, 2026
Color photo a modern steel sculpture located on the waterfront along the Lungomare di Metaponto. The thin, vertical lines of the laminated steel framework represent the upward leap of an athlete. It captures a wrestler in mid-air, frozen in a moment of victory, gazing out toward the Ionian sea. The statue represents Alessidamo, an historical figure/symbol connected to the local Magna Graecia heritage of Metaponto. Alessidamo (Alexidamos) was a young, elite athlete from ancient Metapontion (modern-day Metaponto) who lived during the 5th century BCE. He was a celebrated wrestler who brought glory to his homeland by winning the wrestling competition at the Pythian Games in Delphi. His athletic triumphs were so legendary that they were immortalized in the victory odes of the famous ancient Greek lyric poet Bacchilide (Bacchylides). Rather than just a historical marker, the monument serves as a proud civic symbol for the Ionian coast, channeling the ancient Greek ideals of physical excellence, sportsmanship, and love for one’s native soil. The sculptor, Donato Linzalata was a beloved Lucanian artist. His peers and friends affectionately nicknamed him "Pablo" because they felt his creative genius, inventiveness, and stylistic evolution shared an affinity with the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. Linzalata grew up as the son of a master shipwright (maestro d'ascia), where he literally learned to shape materials "with his eyes" in his father's workshop from a young age. Though he worked across many mediums, his artistic lifestyle—parties— were legendary with a sense of community. He and a collective known as the "pittori del mito" (painters of myth) turned art into a shared lifestyle. They’d host late-night convivios (symposium-like feasts) at taverns or homes after art gallery openings. Linzalata infused his artistic parties with live music and poetry, occasionally painting beautiful, impromptu canvases directly inspired by the poems being recited by guests in the room.

Something I learned the other year I never knew before is that the great scattering of Judaea following Bar Kokhba and Hadrian wasn't necessarily the biggest displacement of Jews from the Holy Land. Apparently they already filtered out to Alexandria & Magna Graecia by the time Caesar was born.

I mean, be careful about generalizations, but elite Athenian and many Magna Graecia men certainly chose repeatedly to subjugate and/or ignore women as much as possible.

#FrescoFriday 🏺
Such a delicate and animated deer hunt, painted in situ below ground on plastered stone slab of Lucanian tomb 370-360 BC.

One of the remarkable frescos from Andriuolo Necropolis north of Magna Graecia city of Poseidonia, later Roman Paestum.
In Paestum museum. Alt for more.
Part of a fresco painted on a stone and plastered slab used as part of a grave. The four sides of the tomb and a roof (sometimes pitched) were prepared and painted in situ below ground. At the bottom a deep border is in faded red, and at the top three lines - thick, thin, thick - in deep red, serve as an upper border. The scene between, on a white background, shows a large gold coloured stag leaping away from a naked hunter with a light red shield and gold boots. He has long dark hair pulled to the nape of his neck. Some sort of red strapping fits around his neck and below waist, perhaps holding eg arrows/supporting the shield. A grey dog in front of the hunter is nipping at the rear of the deer. Two other deer, a stag and a doe are in the background, among a forest of stylised red trees or shrubs.
