Anyone who sees Matera cannot help but be awe-struck, so expressive and touching is its sorrowful beauty.
Carlo Levi— As quoted in Le mille patrie, Donzelli (2000, p. 193).
Some parts of the city are two thousand years old and it looks very much like what ancient Judea must have looked like. The architecture of the city, its rocks and the surrounding landscape are all excellent backdrops. The first time I saw Matera, I went crazy, because it was simply perfect.
— Mel Gibson, as quoted in Matera a biblical Landscape, by APT Basilicata.
