Evocative detail of the Sassi of Matera captured from inside the Gravina, the deep canyon that runs alongside the ancient rock settlement. The Sassi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993, represent one of the oldest examples of continuous human settlement, with dwellings carved into limestone rock dating back to the Paleolithic. Matera, European Capital of Culture 2019, offers unique views between millennial history and lunar landscape.
