EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and transformation in the Sassi di Matera, Basilicata Region of Southern Italy. The image showcases an antique deconsacrated rock church that has been repurposed into a room for wine production. The Sassi di Matera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993 and holds immense historical significance. It is believed to be one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, tracing its roots back to the Stone Age. This makes it even more remarkable, as it stands as a testament to human resilience and continuity. The photograph beautifully portrays the unique architecture of this ancient city, with its rock dwellings carved into cliffs. The panoramic view allows us to appreciate the grandeur of Matera's landscape, while also highlighting its rich cultural heritage. In this particular image, we see how time has transformed a sacred space into something entirely different yet equally fascinating – a room dedicated to winemaking. It serves as a reminder that history is not static but constantly evolving. Federica Grassi's photography skillfully captures both the beauty and intrigue found within Matera's historic walls. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time and invited to explore all that this enchanting place has to offer - from its ancient churches to its thriving wine culture.
