Eye Opening Experience
At this location we were treated to a recreation of a typically furnished peasant cave dwelling of the time that included quarters for animals, kitchen, laundry, bathroom, bedroom, storage, garden? All usually in one room. This was a stop on the Sassi Tourism of Matera tour with Saverio. Very eye opening..

Incredible traditional house
This is a visit of a typical 19th century house of Matera. The house is amazingly well furnished, so that one can learn a huge amount of interesting facts on how the daily life was managed at that time. The immersive effect is very strong, and you realize that each act of ordinary life was difficult in those times. This type of installation is so much better than the usual “tradition museums” in which you see the old clothes and habits !
