EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Stone Age cave dwellings in the Gravina di Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Southern Italy. The panoramic view showcases the prehistoric rock dwellings nestled within the rugged canyon of Matera, which is considered to be one of the oldest cities in existence. Dating back to ancient times, Matera has been continuously inhabited from the stone age up until today, making it an extraordinary testament to human history and resilience. On one side of the canyon stands the modern city of Matera, while on the other side lie these remarkable cave dwellings that have stood for centuries. The image portrays a scene filled with tradition and rich cultural heritage. The sedimentary rock formations create a stunning backdrop against a clear sky, highlighting both nature's grandeur and mankind's ingenuity. These grotto caves served as homes for our ancestors, providing shelter and protection amidst this breathtaking landscape. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an ancient civilization carved into limestone cliffs. It evokes feelings of wonderment and curiosity about our shared past. This abandoned ghost town now serves as a reminder of how far humanity has come while honoring its roots. Federica Grassi's photography skillfully captures every detail and nuance within this historic site, allowing us to appreciate its significance even more deeply.
