Inquire About Print

In the Sassi di Matera, the most ancient part of the city, this small home reveals the layered traces of human presence. It was abandoned for decades after residents were forcibly evicted in the 1950s. Only in recent years has the city begun to return to life. At night, artificial light reshapes the faceted architecture, casting angular shadows across the limestone. A small religious image remains on the wall, a quiet marker of faith in a home shaped by history, abandonment, and renewal.
