The day started out bright with a breakfast incredibly robust and tasty. Tiziana knows how to do it right.
I had arranged for a guide, Nadia Gallanti, whom I found with good references through the internet, but she emailed me the night before that something had come up so she asked a colleague to step in for her in the morning.

He turned out to be an archaeologist who had researched Matera for its eligibility as a UNESCO World Heritage site. He not only knows Matera, but he is also passionate about it. Best of all, he can explain it well.
