Matera

                                         Matera is one of the most interesting,
                                         unusual      and    memorable       tourist
                                         destinations in Italy. In the remote
                                         southern region of Basilicata (also
                                         called Lucania), still little-visited by
                                         foreign travellers, it is a town famous
                                         for     its   extensive     cave-dwelling
                                         districts, the Sassi. Curious visitors can
                                         wander the lanes alongside the
                                         picturesque cave-filled cliffs, and learn
                                         the history of this fascinating place.
The houses of Matera were abandoned in the '50s, when the government,
embarrassed by the descriptions of the poverty amongst the people of the
Sassi found in Carlo Levi's tale of his own exile Christ Stopped in Eboli,
relocated the residents to modern housing. The Sassi are slowly being
repopulated as trendy digs by artistic types.
