EDITORS COMMENTS
This large-size panoramic view of Gravina Di Matera showcases the breathtaking beauty and rich history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in Basilicata, Southern Italy. Matera, considered the third oldest city in the world after Jericho and Aleppo, has been continuously inhabited from the stone age to present day. The modern city stands proudly atop the majestic canyon known as Gravina di Matera, overlooking the iconic Sassi di Matera - ancient rock dwellings that were occupied until the 1950s. On the opposite side of the canyon, numerous prehistoric cave dwellings carved into soft tufa stone can still be seen today. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported back in time to a place where tradition meets innovation. The sedimentary rock formations create a stunning backdrop against a clear sky, highlighting both nature's grandeur and human ingenuity. Matera's charm lies not only in its remarkable architecture but also in its ability to evoke emotions of wonder and curiosity. This photograph captures an ancient city frozen in time; it is a testament to our enduring connection with history and our collective desire to preserve cultural heritage. Whether you appreciate photography or simply yearn for adventure, this print by Federica Grassi will transport you on an unforgettable journey through centuries of civilization. Let your imagination wander as you explore this abandoned ghost town nestled within limestone cliffs – an extraordinary testament to humanity's resilience throughout ages past.
