SASSI DI MATERA - The most spectacular City in Italy, the ancient neighbourhoods, known as sassi, are a series of grottoes carved out of limestone, teetering on the edge of a ravine.
Until the 1950s, Matera was a source of shame for Italy, a place of poverty, malaria and high rates of infant mortality, where people lived in caves without electricity, running water or sewage and indesperate conditions were people living in; between 1953 and 1968 about half of the 30,000 population were moved to new homes in the modern part of the city.
La cattedrale della Madonna della Bruna e di Sant'Eustachio fu costruita in stile romanico pugliese nel XIII secolo sullo sperone più alto della Civita che divide i due Sassi. Fu completata nel 1270

Sassi di Matera - The most spectacular City in Italy, the ancient neighbourhoods, known as sassi, are a series of grottoes carved out of limestone, teetering on the edge of a ravine. It’s one of the most unique and spectacular places we’ve visited in Italy or anywhere in the world.
Until the 1950s, Matera was a source of shame for Italy, a place of poverty, malaria and high rates of infant mortality, where people lived in caves without electricity, running water or sewage. Carlo Levi’s book Christ Stopped at Eboli raised awareness of the desperate conditions people were living in and about half of the 30,000 population were moved to new homes in the modern part of the city between 1953 and 1968.

Mi sono smarrito in queste vie tortuose e roventi sotto il sole dell’estate.
Ogni tanto il mio sguardo vagava sui tetti fino a posarsi sul cielo azzurro, oltre l’orizzonte di pietra.
Unique and very ancient place, Matera, with its Sassi, offers one of the most fascinating show in the world.
I'm lost in these twisted and hot roads under the sun of summer.
Sometimes my gaze wandered over the roofs until laying on the blue sky beyond the stone horizon.

Buildings exhibit a blend of earth-toned stones, characteristic of the Sassi, an ancient cave-dwelling district. A prominent bell tower rises in the center, adding verticality to the rugged landscape. The rugged terrain is dotted with greenery, set under a dynamic cloudy sky, emphasizing the town's dramatic and timeless appearance. Matera is renowned for its historical and cultural significance.
Via Santa Cesarea, Matera, Basilicata, Italia
Matera counts about 55.000 inhabitants, is located 400 metres above sea level and is 45 km from the seaside.
Much appreciated and renowned for its Sassi districts, the town also boasts other charming and beautiful buildings.
The Sassi district is the ancient heart of the city of Matera.
The Sassi surround the Civita and constitute a city unto itself, completely carved out of the face of the calcareous rock -what is known as tufa stone. The Sassi district is a system made of dwellings carved out of the steep slopes of a deep valley with surprising and unusual features called the ‘Gravina’.
Elegant and multi-faceted buildings are interspersed with underground mazes and cave labyrinths, forming one single stunning landscape.
