The beauty of Matera
When I lifted my eyws to see the way I had come, I at last saw the whole of Matera, in the form of a slanting wall[…] The facades of the caves were like a row of white houses; the holes of the doorways stared at me like black eyes, The town is ideed a beautiful one, picturesque and striking.
— (Carlo Levi, Cristo si è fermato a Eboli)
