From Matera to Alberobello between history and architecture
Guided tour from Basilicata to Puglia, to discover the treasures of Italy
A city carved into the rock of its Sassi: Matera has no equal in Europe, here the ancient lives again in the present without any deformation, but with extreme and enviable adaptation. Enter the two large natural amphitheaters which are Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano, locations of films such as the Passion of the Christ and 007. Visit a fully furnished cave house, to understand how people lived in the homes of the districts until a few years ago Stones: adults, children and often donkeys or sheep united in the same underground space. Continue with a tasting of Pane di Matera: fragrant and perfumed, with a round or croissant shape, it is one of the typical products of the city. Then leave with a private driver towards Alberobello, in the heart of the Murgia dei Trulli, to visit the ancient Rione Monti, a colorful bazaar, together with the Aia Piccola district, quieter and more characteristic. Finally, admire the Church of Sant'Antonio, the only one in the world in the shape of a trullo. A day of continuous discoveries.
