La Via dei Sassi - da Bari a Matera

path that unites Bari to Matera, the Basilica of San Nicola to the city of the Sassi. A journey that mixes adventure, history, nature, legends and popular traditions. Take your backpack and leave. Take your first steps in Bari with an exceptional guide, Maria Laterza, who talks to you about great intellectuals of the past such as Pasolini, Sciascia, Calvino, but also about the young people of today, those lost and those found. You walk in the shade of olive trees and "stolen" and "invented" Saints, you cross the Murgia steppe, you get lost between the myth of the Naiads and the legends of Frederick II. Witness the invasion of the wild boars and the return of the wolves, listen to the story of the daring exploits of the bandits, admire the remains of the ancient man of Altamura, savor the scent of the bread and the vapors of Padre Peppe. You cross the ravines and the Fossa Bradanica, among the cave peoples and whales of the Pleistocene, relive football exploits with Luciano Aprile and, finally, you reach Matera, a two-dimensional city, cradle of history and laboratory of new ideas.
