Colobraro (Lucano: Culuvrér) is a town and comune in the province of Matera, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata.

It is one of the agricultural centers in the Sinni River valley, located on the southern slopes of Mount Calvario at a height of 630 m, with views of the whole Ionian Sea coast.

Colobraro is located near Highway 653, not far from the dam built on the Sinni River and Mount Cotugno.

[5] Many stories are told of freak accidents and instances involving masciare, powerful women reputed in southern Italy in the 1950s to cast spells and use black magic, thus fixing Colobraro's reputation for being unlucky and cursed.

[5] Additionally, the name Colobraro derives from the Latin word coluber, meaning serpent, often considered the embodiment of evil.
