EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking panorama view of the prehistoric rock dwellings in the Gravina (canyon) of Matera, located in Basilicata, Southern Italy. These ancient rock dwellings hold a significant historical value as Matera is considered the third oldest city in the world, continuously inhabited from the stone age until present times. Situated on the opposite side of the canyon lies modern-day Matera, creating a striking contrast between past and present. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1993, this remarkable location showcases not only its natural beauty but also its rich cultural heritage. The image portrays two individuals standing amidst this awe-inspiring landscape. The small town nestled within these cliffs exudes an air of mystery and tradition. As you gaze at this photograph, you can't help but feel transported back to ancient times when civilizations thrived within these rocky walls. The warm summer hues and Mediterranean atmosphere add to the allure of this scene. The intricate carvings on stone and cave paintings tell stories of an ancient civilization that once called this place home. Federica Grassi's photography skillfully captures every detail with precision and artistry. This print serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites us to explore further into Italy's fascinating past.
