Expanse of Round Bales on Matera Murgia: the Summer Harvest

A vast field of Matera Murgia hosts dozens of hay round bales scattered almost randomly on the ground. The bales, with their perfect cylindrical shapes, create a visual rhythm that repeats to the hills on the horizon. This scenario, typical of Murgian summer, represents the culminating moment of the annual agricultural cycle. The terrain, with its shades ranging from yellow to brown, shows the signs of the just-concluded harvest. The clear sky completes this vision of a territory deeply linked to agricultural tradition, where wheat and hay represent the main resources.
