Matera italy

Matera is a town and a province in the region of Basilicata, in southern Italy. It is the capital of the province of Matera. Apart from an economy which has traditionally been based on agriculture, in the late 1990s the major economic base of Matera, and of surrounding cities, is the production of upholstered furniture. The town lies athwart a small canyon, which has been eroded in the course of years by a small stream, the Gravina. Matera has gained international fame for its ancient town, the "Sassi di Matera" (meaning "stones of Matera"). The Sassi originate from a prehistoric (troglodyte) settlement, and are suspected to be some of the first human settlements in Italy. The Sassi are houses dug into the tuff rock itself, which is characteristic of Basilicata and Apulia. Many of these "houses" are really only caverns, and the streets in some parts of the Sassi often are located on the rooftops of other houses. The ancient town grew in height on one slope of the ravine created by a river that is now a small stream. The ravine is known locally as "la Gravina". In the 1950s, the government of Italy forcefully relocated most of the population of the Sassi to areas of the developing modern city. However, people continued to live in the Sassi, and according to the English Fodor's guide: Matera is the only place in the world where people can boast to be still living in the same houses of their ancestors of 9000 years ago. Until the late 1980s this was considered an area of ...

Matera città narrata

Matera is the most ancient living city in the world, an extraordinary place where the human history can be perceived in its uninterrupted continuity best than everywhere: the stable human presence in this territory began 12.000 years ago, favoured by the morphology of the environment characterized by thousands of natural caves that allowed men and women to be hosted and protected. The city is famous for its ancient urban centre, the Sassi neighbourhood, houses dug into the calcareous rock. Today many people are still living in the same houses of their ancestors of 9000 years ago. Matera was the first site in South Italy to be declared " Unesco World Heritage", in 1993. "Matera: tales of a city" is not a descriptive traditional guide: it does not inspect monuments mentioning who made them and when. On the contrary it tells the incredible stories that took place in those ancient sites, real fragments of life, myths, events, characters, memories. You can use it before going to Matera or while you are visiting the real places. Several 3D reconstructions show the evolution of Matera and its landscape through the time, in eight different ages: the emersion of lands from the sea more than two million years ago, the terrain and "gravina" formation, the birth of the first neolithic entrenched settlements (5000-4000 bC), the diffusion of the life in the caves, the construction of the "built" and fortified space in the Middle Ages, the expansion from the Civitas to Sassi suburbs ...

MATERA I SASSI patrimonio UNESCO "the city of the Sassi" [HD]

°° by CLAUDIO MORTINI °° Nella Basilicata orientale, elevata a 401 m sopra il livello del mare, Matera è un gioiello di cui godono 60 mila abitanti e molti visitatori ogni anno. Capoluogo della provincia omonima e seconda città della regione, la città segna il confine tra l'Altopiano delle Murge a est e la Fossa Bradanica a ovest, e si lascia attraversare dal corso del fiume Bradano. E' soprattutto negli ultimi anni che Matera si è impegnata per crescere, per curarsi al meglio e per offrire ai turisti le strutture più accoglienti, vedendo nascere sul territorio un gran numero di istituzioni culturali che si sono occupate di restaurare e valorizzare le opere principali. Ma già da lungo tempo la fama della città è legata ai celebri "Sassi", i rioni storici che nel 1993 hanno fatto guadagnare a Matera il riconoscimento da parte dell'UNESCO come Patrimonio dell'Umanità: mai nessun altro sito dell'Italia Meridionale, prima di allora, aveva ricevuto un simile titolo. Diviso in due parti dal torrente Gravina, il centro cittadino è costituito da due zone distinte. Sull'orlo della rupe, rivolto a nord-ovest, il Sasso Barisano è il fulcro della città vecchia, ricchissimo di portali scolpiti e di splendidi fregi. Rivolto a sud è invece il Sasso Caveoso, disposto come un anfiteatro romano con le case-grotta che scendono a valle a gradoni. Nel cuore di Matera, a separare i due Sassi, si staglia contro il cielo la Civita, sperone roccioso su cui si ergono la Cattedrale e diversi ...
