Those who visit Matera with a tour guide will surely learn that, at a certain point in the long and complex history of this city (precisely in 1952), the inhabitants of the Sassi were forced to abandon their homes, many of which dug into the rock. They were unhealthy, damp dwellings, with no sewage system, water supply and electricity.
Living conditions of extreme poverty, now inconceivable for a nation devoted to post-war reconstruction and economic development.
With the Special Law n. 619, the Sassi of Matera were thus displaced.
