During a recent business trip to Italy, I was very fortunate to be able to spend a day in one of my favorite places on the planet...The Sassi in Matera!
It's an amazing place where after the ancient inhabitants left the caves, they carved the beautiful town you see in the photo above from the rock. The beauty humbles the soul, and the history radiates through every fiber of your being. It's simply magical!!
My advice...don't leave the planet without seeing this place ;-)

Robert, I so enjoyed the visit! It is a beautiful place and, yes, I would love to visit someday!

Grazie!! :-)))
Words fail when yo have the opportunity to enjoy those places where the archaeological vestiges of ancestral human settlement are all around....where we might also dream that mystical things and the mystery could be revealed.Every stone hides thousand of secrets and has something to tell.
ReplyDeleteI love this post ...thanks for sharing Robert!!
great info about Matera...it’s a best choice of vacation --- i wish to visit this place in upcoming year 2011
ReplyDeleteIt would be amazing to visit places with rich history. We can still learn from the historic places left behind and see how they lived. In a way it's humiliating, because people back then had less possessions and now we are living in a world where people are spoiling themselves with unnecessary things.
