Albano di Lucania (Lucano: Albànë) is a town and comune in the province of Potenza, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Albano was part of the Sanseverino fiefdom, and until 1800, it was under the rule of the dukes Ruggiero.

During World War II, a family of Austrian Jewish refugees (a father, mother, and child) were confined to forced residence in Albano.

The main sight in the town is the Mother Church of Santa Maria Maggiore (previously: chiesa Madonna della neve).

Specifically, from July 31 to August 17, 1956, the focus was on studying popular songs and funeral rituals, followed by a broader survey from May 15 to June 10, 1957, including neighboring areas, on healers and their clients.
