The association includes 200 comuni, including four others in Basilicata (Acerenza, Castelmezzano, Guardia Perticara and Venosa),[2] all in the province of Potenza.
In 2019, CNN included Pietrapertosa among "20 of the most beautiful villages in Italy".[3]
It was the lifelong home of Lucia Lauria Vigna, the oldest person in Italy for almost two and a half years.
