Barile (

Arbëreshë Albanian: Barilli; Lucano: Barìle) is a town and comune in the province of Potenza, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata.[3] It is bounded by the comuni (municipalities), of Ginestra, Rapolla, Rionero in Vulture, Ripacandida, and Venosa. The town is an ancient Arbëreshë settlement,[4] and the population still maintains strong links with that culture. The noun, barile, means "barrel" in Italian
.

The people of Barile speak Italian and Arbëreshë, a dialect of Albanian. The locals managed to preserve Albanian language and culture over the centuries, as the village was founded by groups of Greek and Albanian immigrants. The first flow of immigrants is considered to have settled in the area in 1447.[3]
