Rockin’ the Rocks: Exploring Matera with My Inquisitive Mum - What an amazing experience! Our tour of the Sassi di Matera was absolutely fascinating, and Anita made it even more special. She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a wonderful storyteller. Her talk was pleasant, lively, and never boring. Anita shared so many interesting facts and useful tips about the history, culture, and hidden corners of Matera. Thanks to her, we discovered the best spots to visit, where to taste authentic local food, and what unique souvenirs to buy. This tour gave us a real sense of the spirit of Matera: interesting, ancient, and full of life. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to truly experience the magic of the Sassi! Grazie!
