I moved to Matera in February 2020. I go jogging every day through the Sasso Barisano (the old town) and I never get tired of the astounding views. Plus, there are very few cars in that area, so it is a perfect place to walk around and take random stairs up and down :) I've been to about 30 Italian cities and before visiting Matera, Perugia was my favorite. Now it's Matera, it's just absolutely amazing. PS. The path from the Sasso Barisano to the Parco delle Murgia (the natural area) is still closed, but there are buses leaving from the city center every hour from 10am to 5pm. It takes just 30 minutes and once you're in the Parco delle Murgia, you can go all the way down where the river is and there are many paths and hidden rock churches (then you would have to, of course, go up to return the bus stop). For those traveling on a low budget, there's a hostel called Ostello dei Sassi, so there's no excuse for not visiting this city if you are in the south. The easiest way to get here is by train from Bari with a company called Ferrovie Appulo-Lucane, a local train company that travels from Bari to Matera for 5EUR (takes 2 hours). Other towns to visit close to Matera are Castelmezzano, Pietrapetrosa and Craco. Hope it helps you're planning to visit the wonderful little city!

So my husband and I are in our late 20s and took a cross country trip by rental car through Italy (Rome to Trevisio, to Tuscany, to Amalfi, to Matera and then back to Rome) of almost 2000 miles round trip! I have to say the biggest THANK YOU for showing me Matera!!! I added it to our agenda after you posted this video and it was my FAVORITE place I’ve ever travel to!! Absolutely beautiful, felt like I was see Turkey or Isreal, just amazing. Thank you both!!

I can try to answer that! they were basically forced out and "given" flats in the "newtown". There was a belief that the town was unhealthy and nearly impossible to do upkeep, so believe it or not, an entire townspeople were moved out without a choice in the matter. Only in recent years has there been a return and those who still had property there were able to renovate it if they wanted and return. And, I agree with you, lovely video with a lot of enthusiasm.
