EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in southern Italy. The image captures both the old and new aspects of this historic city, known for its Sassi di Matera - ancient cave dwellings carved into the limestone cliffs. Matera holds a significant place in history as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, tracing back to prehistoric times. It proudly stands as the third oldest city after Jericho and Aleppo. The photograph perfectly encapsulates this rich heritage against a backdrop of clear blue skies adorned with beautiful clouds.
