Ingrid Hölbl provides an entertaining overview of Basilicata, spanning the millennia up to the present day. Matera, European Capital of Culture 2019 and World Heritage Site, is known as the city of the Sassi, where many people lived in caves until the 1950s. On the Ionian coast, the Greeks founded Metapont, which is still impressive today. The reader visits Venosa, the birthplace of the Roman poet Horace, an example of the unbroken continuity of a political centre from the Roman Republic to the present day.
