Matera, is an Italian city located in a southern region known as the Basilicata; between the heel and the tip of the boot of Italy. UNESCO reports that the area has been inhabited since the Neolithic Era. This hilly and rocky area was once called the shame of Italy due to the poor living conditions and extreme poverty experienced by the citizenry up to the 1950s. There are, however, points of deeper interest contained in the rocks of Matera.
