The Italian Cultural Institute, in collaboration with The Grand Tour Europe, is pleased to invite you to the fifth appointment of the Free Virtual Guided Tours series,led by Daniela Pacchiani.
Matera is a place with a fascinating and extremely long history, widely considered one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Its famous Sassi, ancient dwellings carved into the rock, form a unique cultural landscape shaped over centuries by the relationship between humans and nature. Once known as the “Shame of Italy” because of the difficult living conditions of the past, Matera has transformed its history into an extraordinary cultural rebirth and is now a source of pride and admiration worldwide.
From cinema to gastronomy, from underground crypts to rock-hewn churches decorated with frescoes, the city offers a remarkable heritage of art, traditions, and landscapes. In 2019 Matera was named European Capital of Culture, confirming the universal value of this extraordinary city.
