Rotondella (Neapolitan language: ) is a town and comune in the province of Matera, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata.
==Language== The local vernacular lies on the eastern tip of the Lausberg area, and as such it is an archaizing dialect of the Neapolitan language. It features a notable amount of inherited Ancient and Byzantine Greek words, like surigghia, "lizard", from *sauricola, a late diminuitive of σαύρα (saúra); ghattuvigghia "bat", from a similarly-formed diminuitive of νυκτερίς (nukterís), also influenced by ghatt "cat"; or zilona, "turtle", from χελώνη (chelóna), all with the same meaning.
