Looks old.

Sort of like those mountainside Amerindian towns in North America.

Looks very nice.

i'd love to visit

Good job, Matera!

>the most primitive and useless city of Italy
>capital of culture

do you live there? I visited Matera two years ago when I vacationed in Bari, felt like I was in the Middle East. it was comfy, tho

favela

Basilicata is the most based southern region

This

Capital of culture is a big fucking scam. Leeuwarden was the capital of culture too last year or so and it’s mainly known as a place all young people flee away from because there’s nothing there

Yeah, I think it's more like a "consolation prize" to try and recover underdeveloped areas

Well it's thought to be among the first ever human settlements in Italy

It kinda looks like a Brazilian favela, except 500 years old.

as far as I know the reason for this title is that whichever city or town is named as "capital of european culture 20xx" will get a ton of EU funds to develop its infrastructure, refurbish its cultural institutes, and revitalize it by building new stuff, such as concert halls, museums, etc. so that the town's economic situation improves and will hopefully become a tourist magnet

>500 years old

it's much older than that

Our capital was the capital of culture last year. Thank God it's over.

>Europe
>culture

Based on my knowledge they've done great things about cultural initiatives but they've basically sold the city to AirBNB in doing that

>felt like

comfy

Why are the houses unpainted?

>everything is "of Europe" instead of "of [country]" now
culturally devoid

the same thing in matera lmao.

Well the city gets EU funds for new theaters, halls and festivals whole year

It's pretty based
