EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the prehistoric rock dwellings in Matera, Basilicata, Southern Italy. Nestled within the Gravina canyon, these ancient dwellings are a testament to the rich history of this remarkable city. Matera holds the distinction of being the third oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, following only Jericho and Aleppo. The modern city of Matera now stands on the opposite side of the canyon, serving as a stark contrast to its prehistoric counterpart. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1993, these rock dwellings have become an iconic symbol of Matera's historical significance. In this image captured by Federica Grassi, we witness nature's harmonious blend with human ingenuity. The towering cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop for these primitive homes carved into stone. As we gaze upon this scene devoid of people, we are transported back in time to an era long gone. The photograph exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as it captures not only ancient dolmens but also cliff dwellings that once housed our ancestors. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity and progress, remnants from our past continue to shape our present. Grassi's photography skillfully immortalizes this UNESCO-recognized site while inviting us to explore its historical depths. Whether you're drawn to archaeology or simply seeking adventure off-the-beaten-path destinations, this print is sure to ignite your wanderlust and transport you through time itself.
