Charlie and I spent Easter weekend in the historic city of Matera in southern Italy. This is a stunning place – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – with so many fascinating stone streets, buildings, churches, and spectacular vistas to explore. Matera is famous for its restored network of cave dwellings that were inhabited until the 1950’s. Two photos below. It is also a popular tourist town with mainly Italian people as well as tourists from different countries. Something we were not expecting: raucous fireworks at midnight to start the Easter celebration!
