Check out our new Google Map! Controllate la nuova mappa di Google per il nostro tour! In September I will be traveling to Matera with Ilaria Navarra, facilitating a week of language classes and cultural activities in the Basilicata. Program details are highlighted on this page Matera/Basilicata 2013 (September 14-21st)
Ilaria, our Basilicata expert and language instructor, has created a wonderful Google Map for the Studentessa Matta tour for you to visually see the locations we will visit. The map also contains links to the hotels and B&B we have selected for participants to stay during their week with us. You can review the hotels and book your own rooms based on your personal preferences. On the map you can locate the school where we will be studying and you can evaluate the walking distance to the school. The price for all the lodgings we have selected are already included in the trip price. You need only to select the accommodations that you prefer. Below are photos and descriptions of the locations available.
The Studentessa Matta Google Map shows not only the school and lodgings, but also some of the locations we will visit during the week for cartapesta, gelato tasting, as well as the restaurants we will frequent. We will be adding to our map additional highlights and places we will visit during of our tour.

Volete camminare nei passi dei famosi registi per vivere un po’ della storia del film italiano? 

Potreste mai immaginare che un semplice timbro del pane potrebbe essere un simbolo d’amore come un anello di fidanzamento? Una volta a Matera i timbri lo erano!

Ciao tutti! Buon anno! Abbiamo già festeggiato Natale, Capodanno e la Befana e per molti il 7 gennaio è il giorno in cui si smantellano l’albero e tutte le decorazioni e per alcune è l’ora per mettere a posto la scopa! È il giorno anche in cui di solito il presepe è smontato. Io invece mi rifiuto di collaborare a riporre tutti i discorsi delle vacanze natalizie e scelgo di pubblicare ancora una volta un’altro post sul presepe – specificamente il presepe vivente a Matera. Ok, voglio ammettere che la mia amica Ilaria mi ha spedito questo guest blog sulla tradizione splendida che si svolge a Matera ogni anno all’inizio del mese di Dicembre, ma essendo un po’ impegnata con gli impegni di Natale a casa mia e avendo la testa tra le nuvole pensando ai tutti i biscotti di cucinare e i regali di incartare, ho dimenticato di pubblicarlo prima! Mi dispiace Ilaria. Ma io dico, meglio tardì che mai! Quindi potete leggere l’articolo e fare gli appunti per l’anno prossimo…
