"From our exclusive terrace,
you'll enjoy your next stay
in the Sassi of Matera"

"Oh, a marvelous spectacle!
Those lights era like stars fallen from the sky, which, grouped in various ways according to the districts of houses, reproduce in the valleys of the lowlands the constellations placed by God in the firmament."

__Cesare Malpica, observing the Sassi, 1847 - History of Matera, Marcello Morelli - Montemurro Editions, Matera 1963__
