Savoia di Lucania (Lucano: Savòie) is a town and comune in the province of Potenza, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata.

It was altered at the end of the 19th century to Savoia di Lucania after a local resident and anarchist, Giovanni Passannante, attempted to kill King Umberto I of Italy on November 17, 1878.

In the early 2000s it was proposed to return to the original toponym, removing the references to the House of Savoy.

Two committees have been constituted, one for the return to the toponym of Salvia, and another for the maintenance of the current name.

[3][4][5][6] Located near the borders with Campania, Savoia is bounded by the comuni of Caggiano (SA), Picerno, Sant'Angelo Le Fratte, Satriano di Lucania, Tito, and Vietri di Potenza.
