Among the oldest cities in the world, Matera as well as being a UNESCO World Heritage Site has also been the Capital of European Culture 2019. Its territory holds evidence of human settlements starting from the Palaeolithic era and continued without interruption to the present day. Matera is the city of the Sassi: the original nucleus developed starting from the natural caves carved into the rock to arrive at increasingly complex structures within the two large natural Gravines which are the Sasso Caveoso and the Sasso Barisano.

In his quote Carlo Levi described Matera as follows: “In the caves of the Sassi lies the capital of the peasants, the hidden heart of their ancient civilization. Anyone who sees Matera cannot help but be impressed by it, its painful beauty is expressive and touching “.

In this photo Alessandra Fusello tells Matera: “Dawn. One of the moments that most belongs to me. The awakening of a new day, the colors … Photographing such a beautiful place is a privilege … Matera is a dream to open eyes“.
