EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Matera, a historic city nestled in the heart of Basilicata, Italy. As dusk descends upon this ancient European gem, the calcareous rock formations and unique cave dwellings come alive with an ethereal glow. The architectural marvels that dot the landscape showcase Matera's rich history and cultural significance. Matera's old town, known as "Sassi di Matera" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and stands as a testament to human ingenuity. Carved into the stone cliffs, these subterranean cities have been inhabited for thousands of years, making them one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited settlements. The interplay between light and shadow adds depth to this mesmerizing scene. The warm hues cast by the setting sun illuminate the narrow streets and alleyways that wind through Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso – two distinct districts within Matera's labyrinthine urban fabric. As summer envelops this southern Italian paradise, visitors are transported back in time as they explore its winding pathways lined with ancient buildings. With its hillside perch offering panoramic views over Lucania's rolling hills, it is no wonder why Matera was named European Capital of Culture. Manfred Kostner skillfully captures all these elements in his photograph, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the timeless charm of Matera—a place where past meets present amidst stunning natural surroundings.
