EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the prehistoric rock dwellings in the Gravina of Matera, located in Basilicata, Southern Italy. These ancient dwellings hold a significant historical value as they are considered to be among the oldest inhabited sites in the world. Only surpassed by Jericho and Aleppo, Matera has been continuously inhabited since the stone age up until present times. The modern city of Matera now stands on the opposite side of this breathtaking canyon, creating a striking contrast between past and present. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1993, these rock dwellings stand as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity throughout centuries. In this vibrant image captured by Federica Grassi, we witness an enchanting blend of tradition and natural beauty. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every detail of these historic structures carved into tufa cliffs. Against a clear August sky, these caves exude an air of mystery and invite us to delve into their ancient history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to explore Italian culture at its roots. Without any people present, we can fully immerse ourselves in this travel destination that holds such immense significance for archaeology enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.
