Matera: the city of stones

in #ita5 years ago

ITA

Ed eccomi finalmente qui su Steemit per pubblicare le foto di Matera, grazie ad un riposo forzato dovuto ad un piccolo infortnio che ho avuto ieri...
Non vedevo l'ora di avere un pò di tempo da dedicare a questo post perchè Matera è un'altra di quelle città che mi ha colpito subito, anzi non proprio appena siamo entrati nel centro città perchè sembrava un posto qualsiasi, ma quando siamo andati nella Matera sotterranea, o come la vogliamo chiamare, la parte storica costruita su pietra, allora si che si è aperto un mondo fantastico: a me sembrava proprio di essere dentro ad un videogioco fantasy =)

And here I am finally here on Steemit to publish the photos of Matera, thanks to a forced rest due to a small injury that I had yesterday ...
I could not wait to have some time to devote to this post because Matera is another of those cities that struck me immediately, in fact not just as soon as we entered the city center because it looked like any place, but when we went in the underground Matera, or as we want to call it, the historical part built on stone, so that a fantastic world has opened up: it seemed to me just to be inside a fantasy video game =)

Ormai lo sanno tutti che quest'anno la città è stata nominata Capitale della Cultura ma era candidata già dal 2008! Non capisco il motivo di aspettare tutto questo tempo data la storia, la cultura e la particolare bellezza di questo posto. Oltretutto nel 1993, i Sassi di Matera sono stati riconosciuti come Patrimonio dell'Unesco, primo sito dell'Italia meridionale a ricevere tale riconoscimento.

By now everyone knows that this year the city was named Capital of Culture but was a candidate since 2008! I don't understand the reason to wait all this time given the history, the culture and the particular beauty of this place. Moreover, in 1993, the Sassi of Matera were recognized as UNESCO Heritage, the first site in southern Italy to receive this recognition.

Prima che mi dimentichi, taggo il mio @amico perchè so che anche lui era molto interessato, dato che è stato recentemente a Matera poco dopo di me. Già che ci sono, menziono anche @elikast e @mad-runner che credo apprezzeranno il post.

Before I forget, I tag my friend @amico because I know he was very interested too, since he was recently in Matera shortly after me. While I am there, I also mention @elikast and @ mad-runner which I believe will appreciate the post.

L'area naturale che vedete immersa nel verde fa parte del Parco della Murgia Materana. Simbolo del parco è il falco grillaio, piccolo rapace presente nel territorio di Matera con numerosissimi esemplari.

The natural area you see surrounded by greenery is part of the Murgia Materana Park. Symbol of the park is the grillaio falcon, a small bird of prey present in the territory of Matera with numerous specimens.

Dopo le foto più belle che ho fatto a Matera siamo arrivati alla fine del post, quindi ora tocca a voi: fatemi sapere se vi sono piaciute, ammetto che avrei preferito di più immortalare gli angoli della città con le luci del tramonto ma tutto non si può fare!
Che ne pensate? Ci siete mai stati nella città dei sassi? Raccontatemi la vostra e rimanete sintonizzati! =)

After the best photos I took in Matera we arrived at the end of the post, so now it's your turn: let me know if you liked them, I admit that I would have preferred more immortalizing the corners of the city with the lights of the sunset but everything is not can do!
What do you think? Have you ever been to the city of stones? Tell me yours and stay tuned! =)

Scatti stupendi! (come sempre) 👏

Vedi che a volte mi ricordo?? Sono contenta che ti siano piaciute le foto! Grazie mille ☺️

Ps: cosa sarebbe questa nuova diavoleria? 🤪

Ero stufo di offrirti sempre !BEER quindi qualche GIF animata (automatica grazie a @giphy) rompe la monotonia... vero?

Beautiful city indeed. I think most cities in Italy are. I can't get enough from these sorts of places. I am impressed at how people, so many years ago, fought against the elements, with rudimentary technology (compaired with today's resources) and were able to bild these amazing cities in places where most of us would have discarded building.
Then, the preservation of these places is just admirable. I live in a 500 year-old city and there is nothing ffrom 1515 standing, there are a few things from the 1700s, and only a few well preserved houses from the 19th century.
We have never seen history as a priority and the houses themselves as an important part of that history.
I admire any people who gives their history and culture their true value.

You're absolutely right! All the value of these cities is linked to the story behind and the culture of the place. Italy is full of very old and interesting cities to visit, so do not miss the opportunity to visit my beautiful country and you will be fascinated by 😃 but I am sure your country will have its beauties to see!

Thanks
It does, although now is not the best time to explore it. It's not safe even for locals, let alone foreign tourists.
Unlike most countries in the world, we did not invest in touristic infrastructure, we did not educate our people for the hospitality business. There is a long way to go in that area, as well as public transportation and other services that would make the experience more confortable or pleasant.

non capisco neanch'io tutto questo tempo d'attesa per conclamarla capitale della cultura...tra l'altro fa parte di quella basilicata che è più puglia siticulosa che lucania romantica come per esempio il potentino.....di una bellezza fantastica....andatela a vedere!!!

Ben detto e per questo ti meriti una !BEER
🍻
Piacere di conoscerti 😊

omg this is a kind of place I would die for - I can imagine that I would feel totally lost and relaxed here because it looks nothing like where i live. Amazing pictures, I loved it , congrtas on your curie vote, well deserved :)

I'm very pleased! If you like it so much, I suggest you visit her, where do you live? 😃

Italy is a dream. I keep telling my boyfriend I want Italy for honeymoon, but he says Switzerland. This one is going to be a good fight :P

One day for sure - I live in India

Oh, boyfriends... are stubborn, mine is afraid of the plane, and I can't get him to take a far trip, even in India sooner or later, I d like to go 😃 Maybe for the color party!!

ehy dear @tinamarr, your photos are beautiful !! matera is certainly another pearl of Italian beauty, the historical-natural archaeological park of the Matera Churches is one of the oldest human settlements from the Paleolithic period to the present day. and incredible to be able to see with our people a part of human history, which has developed over the centuries from the natural caves carved into the rock. one can only remain wide-eyed before such testimony. your post has given honor to this fantastic city! congratulations

you're right about the importance of this city and it's worth visiting at least once in your life 🤗 thank you for your appreciation!! !BEER

Bellissimo reportage, complimenti :)
Sono stata qualche anno fa a Matera e l'ho adorata: è una città davvero unica al mondo, meravigliosa e piena di vita, con una storia plurimillenaria. Inoltre, è un paradiso per i fotografi, non c'è angolo, panorama, prospettiva o dettaglio che non meriti almeno uno scatto!

Grazie mille di tutto 🤗 mi fa molto piacere!!

Grazie per avermi menzionato, ma ho controllato e non è arrivata la notifica; ritornando al post, mi hai fatto ricordare quando ci sono stata a Natale, è una città meravigliosa e tu hai fatto degli scatti bellissimi! Io andai anche alla mostra di Dalì, bellissima!
!BEER
Per festeggiare!

Posted using Partiko Android

Ok allora ho fatto bene ad avvisarti..
Ero indecisa se vedere anche la mostra ma poi ho preferito dedicare tutto il tempo alla città perché eravamo lì solo come tappa di passaggio senza fermarci altri giorni.. peccato... magari capiterà un’altra occasione! Sono felice che ti piacciano le foto, grazie mille ☺️

Very good publication, I loved the photos, it shows an impressive city, very typical of the coast of several countries, I hope that the concern as heritage, I would love to visit it ... saluods and good recovery of your injury.

Thank you very kind 😊 I'm already a lot better, where do you live?
