EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning large size panoramic view captures the essence of Matera, the third oldest city in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spanning three different ages, this image showcases the rich history and cultural significance of Matera. The modern city sits atop the breathtaking Gravina di Matera canyon, overlooking the famous Sassi di Matera rock dwellings. These ancient homes were inhabited until as recently as the 1950s and provide a fascinating glimpse into past civilizations. On the opposite side of the canyon, numerous prehistoric cave dwellings can be seen carved into soft tufa stone. In this photograph, all three types of dwellings are visible, offering a unique perspective on how human habitation has evolved over time. The image is bathed in warm sunlight under a clear sky, highlighting both natural beauty and architectural marvels. Matera's status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993 further emphasizes its historical importance. This panorama also features a large group of people enjoying their surroundings, adding an element of liveliness to an otherwise ancient landscape. Federica Grassi's masterful photography skillfully captures every detail – from limestone cliffs to abandoned ruins – transporting viewers back through time to experience Matera's ancient history firsthand.
