After twenty years spent living in Matera, Cresci gathers here the places of the city to which he is bound by affection: not the monumental Matera of the Sassi as it appears in the tourist image, but the rooms, the courtyards, the doorways and the objects of a daily life he had shared. The texts are by Rosalba Demetrio, Carlo Bertelli, Vanni Scheiwiller, Mario Trufelli and the author himself.
