EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Rock Church in Gravina di Matera, nestled within the breathtaking Matera Canyon in Basilicata, Southern Italy. This ancient rock church is a testament to the rich history of Matera, which is considered the third oldest city in the world after Jericho and Aleppo. From its humble beginnings in the Stone Age to its present-day existence, Matera has been continuously inhabited throughout time. Situated on one side of the canyon, modern-day Matera stands as a stark contrast to this ancient marvel. The Rock Church's inclusion as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993 highlights its significance and cultural value. The image captures not only the tradition and Italian culture associated with this famous place but also showcases nature's beauty. With clear skies above and tufa cliffs surrounding it, this photograph perfectly encapsulates summer vibes and invites viewers to explore this historical gem. As we gaze upon this stunning scene devoid of people, we are transported back through time to witness an era long gone yet preserved within these rocky walls. Federica Grassi's photography skillfully immortalizes this piece of ancient history for all to admire and appreciate.
