Greek - Antiquities from South Italy (South Italic)
The preference for Attic vases led to the development of South Italian workshops, strongly influenced by Attic style, but producing for local markets. "South Italic" is a term for Greek pottery manufactured during the 4th century B.C. Five regions produced South Italian wares - Apulia, Lucania, Paestum, Campania, and Sicily. Centers also developed in Teano (Campania), Canosa (Apulia), and Gnathia (Apulia), but these potteries moved away from classical red-figure and more towards less figurative work of the later Hellenistic and Graeco-Roman Periods.

Apulian artists used polychromatic, coiling tendrils and flower forms and whirling swirls to fill traditionally black areas of vases, with frequent use of portrait or cameo faces of nymphs and satyrs. Campanian artists favored use of a broader color palette, often making female figures with white skin, while leaving male figures in red.
