Capturing the Timeless Beauty - Matera's Enchanting Night View
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to circa 1980, offering a mesmerizing glimpse of Matera at night. Known as the Sassi di Matera or Stones of Matera, this ancient town in Italy's Basilicata region holds an extraordinary historical significance. Originally a prehistoric settlement, it is believed to be one of the earliest human dwellings in Italy. The image showcases the unique charm and architectural marvels that define Matera. Houses intricately carved into rock formations create a surreal sight against the darkened sky. Illuminated by gentle lighting equipment, these centuries-old structures exude an ethereal glow that adds to their mystique. As we immerse ourselves in this photograph, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage embedded within every stone and alleyway of this UNESCO World Heritage site. The photographer Fernando Vazquez Miras skillfully captures not only its physical beauty but also manages to evoke a sense of timelessness through his lens. Matera beckons travelers from around the globe with its allure and invites them on a journey through ancient history. This print serves as both a window into our past and an invitation for future exploration—a testament to humanity's ability to adapt and thrive amidst nature's wonders.
