I lived in Italy for five years in the 70/s and 80"s and never knew this city existed. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I must visit on my next trip to Italy. Again thanks.

I’m currently in the process of planning my spring 2024 trip and Matera is top of the list. I’m even more excited after watching your video!! Thank you for your great footage in Part 2! 🤯

The life-sized statuary figures you show at the start of this vlog are still another example of Italians adorning their cities with art. There are similar sculptures on a main street in downtown Rome. Uncharitably, I would give artwork like this 24 hours or less on a street in Los Angeles before it disappears onto the flatbed of a pickup truck, off to who knows where, never to be seen again. Music tracks here are awesome.

One of the places in my list! Your hotel room looks a lot like the hotel caves in Cappadocia. I love places with history!
