Matera – what a city! The first time you lay eyes on the rock city of Matera, you can’t help but be amazed. It’s like something out of a detailed picture book, with sand-coloured house facades stacked side by side and on top of each other.

The scene leaves you speechless, reminiscent of a stage set or a movie backdrop. It’s all in shades of tone, thanks to the nearly “colourless” stone Matera is renowned for, creating a memory that deeply imprints itself in your mind.
