Irsina on film: the old town, its art and the Pizzicantò

Three distinct views of Irsina: a visitor’s tour, an archival RAI feature and a short record of the town’s human-tower tradition.

DovealSud’s visitor feature is explicitly about what to see in Irsina, formerly Montepeloso. Its description singles out the historic centre and the statue of Saint Euphemia, making it a practical first audiovisual introduction. The video is a travel overview; use current local sources for opening arrangements and transport.

This archived Rai programme segment, published by biagiod, is a broader 2008 portrait of Irsina. A contemporary description associates it with cathedral artworks, the Pizzicantò and the Bottini water galleries. It is useful for seeing how the town was presented to a national audience, while its older visitor details should not substitute for current information.

This 34-second clip by Gabriele Di Stasio is devoted to Irsina’s Pizzicantò human-tower tradition. It offers a brief record of a local cultural practice rather than a general sightseeing tour, so it complements the two broader town portraits.
