The Sassi di Matera are ancient cave dwellings in the Italian city of Matera, Basilicata. Situated in the old town, they are composed of the Sasso Caveoso and the later Sasso Barisano.
The "Sassi" grew in the area of Murgia Plateau, extended between Apulia and Basilicata.
The Sassi originate from a prehistoric troglodyte settlement and are suspected to be among the first human settlements in Italy. There is evidence that people were living here as early as the year 7000 BC.
The Sassi are houses dug into the calcarenitic rock itself, which is characteristic of Basilicata and Apulia, locally called "tufo" although it is not volcanic tuff or tufa. Many of these dwellings are really only caverns, and the streets in some parts of the Sassi often run on top of other houses. The ancient town grew up on one slope of the ravine created by a river that is now a small stream. The ravine is known locally as "la Gravina".
In the 1950s, the government of Italy forcefully relocated most of the population of the Sassi to areas of the developing modern city. Riddled with malaria, the unhealthy living conditions were considered an affront to the new Italian Republic of Alcide De Gasperi. However, people continued to live in the Sassi, and according to the English Fodor's guide:

« Arrivai a Matera verso le undici del mattino. Avevo letto nella guida che è una città pittoresca, che merita di essere visitata, che c'è un museo di arte antica e delle curiose abitazioni trogloditiche [cioè scavate nella roccia]. Allontanatami un poco dalla stazione, arrivai a una strada, che da un solo lato era fiancheggiata da vecchie case, e dall'altro costeggiava un precipizio. In quel precipizio è Matera. La forma di quel burrone era strana; come quella di due mezzi imbuti affiancati, separati da un piccolo sperone e riuniti in basso in un apice comune, dove si vedeva, di lassù, una chiesa bianca, Santa Maria de Idris, che pareva ficcata nella terra. Questi coni rovesciati, questi imbuti, si chiamano Sassi. Hanno la forma con cui, a scuola, immaginavamo l'inferno di Dante, in quell...
The Sassi di Matera (meaning "stones of Matera") - prehistoric cave dwellings in the Italian city of Matera, Basilicata
Sassi di Matera, which teeters on the edge of a steep ravine in Italy's south, dates back 9,000 years and is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited cave city in the world. The Unesco-protected Sassi district is part of Matera city and has been carved into the rock of a towering gorge that was formed by a large river. After WWII, cave residents were reluctantly moved from their crumbling homes (top left) into more modern abodes in the Matera town on the cliff. While many of the ancient chambers lie abandoned and forgotten, the settlement's prospects were hugely boosted by Unesco naming it a World Heritage site in 1993. Several caves have been given a new lease of life and transformed into cosy homes (far right), and hotels and restaurants to cater for waves of inquisitive tourists...

Les troubadours, les malandrins
Me suivent de près
Quand je vais dans la salle de bain
Les canaris et les serins
M'envient ce doux bruit
Que je fais le matin...
Les troubadours le savent bien
Qu'importe l'humeur
Toutes les heures
Sonnent bien
Ils sont pas sourds comme les voisins
Qui pensent que j'déménage
Que je vais pas bien
Qui veulent que j'déménage
Paraît qu' c'est pour mon bien...
Je chante la la la
Sur tous les airs
Et sur tous les tons
Tu n'es pas là là là
Et y'a guère
Que l'écho qui répond
Et j'ai le la bémol
Plaqué au sol...
Depuis j'attends le jour
Où l'air de rien
Tu viendras me faire
De la mousse dans le bain
Dieu sait que les mots d'amour
Ça s'entend de loin
Comme les scènes de ménage
Et les bêtes en cage
Comme les bruits de casserole
Et les rossignols...
Ça fait des la la la
Sur tous les airs
Et sur tous les tons
Tu n'es pas là là là
Et y'a guère
Que l'écho qui répond
Je chante la la la
Des phrases en l'air
Et des sanglots longs
Tu n'es plus là là là
Et la sirène
Se change en poisson...
Et j'ai le la bémol
Plaqué au sol
Et j'ai le la mineur
Plaqué au coeur...
