GAY MATERA

ABOUT THE CITY...

Matera is known as the city of caves with spectacular scenery, stylish cave hotels, and a fascinating history. The caves of Matera had been inhabited for centuries; some humble and some smarter residences, but by the early twentieth-century the area was full of poverty. Until the 1950s hundreds of families were still living crowded into cave-houses here. The squalor and malaria-ridden conditions became a national scandal and finally the cave residents were moved - by law - to modern buildings on the plateau above. In 1993 the town was made a UNESCO World Heritage site, for being "the most outstanding, intact example of a settlement in the Mediterranean region, perfectly adapted to its terrain and ecosystem". The city was then setting for moovies like Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ and Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Il Vangelo secondo Matteo (The Gospel According to St. Matthew).
