To become famous by Mel Gibson that he wanted "protagonist" indirect and set the location for his film "The Passion of the Christ", Matera is in fact for many years UNESCO World Heritage Site for its neighborhood of Sassi constructions very ancient times inhabited until the fifties and then evicted because they are considered little hygiene.
To be honest after a period of neglect the Sassi have returned to new luster, and therefore many are considering returning to live naturally equipped with all comforts. Matera is a lively town, full of restaurants, bars and also being in the hills has a climate cool enough for those who want to do a trip in summer and warm enough for a trip spring or autumn. It is not difficult to achieve for those coming from Bari since the SS96 comes easily to us but we need to be careful with curves but for those who want arrvarci by train should be entrusted to local railways because unfortunately the city has not yet served by TRENITALIA. Why ventures along the Sassi attentive guides improvised that emerge suddenly to collect some coin dall'incauto tourists wandering aimlessly. For a snack we recommend a good cake from a bakery at the entrance to the unassuming Sasso Barisano although unfortunately I do not remember the name, unfortunately, have passed several years .... :-(
Note that in the immediate vicinity is the center of space geodesy, certainly an important point of reference for all those interested all'astrofisica.
