Christ really stopped at Eboli... - To visit Matera, it is necessary to immerse yourself in the past. You have to realize in what conditions the inhabitants lived: caves or Ipogeo. Read, by Carlo Levi: "Christ stopped at Eboli..."

Fascinating Hidden World - Magical places to visit to be aware of a submerged history often unknown but that certainly deserves attention and above all reflection. Certainly one of the most interesting beauties of Italy

Cute - Nice hike, very good driving. Exhibitions of collaborating artists not related at all to the place, in my opinion therefore useless, since the guide explains the location and the life that was in it, and not the works of the moment that can only distract.
