Description
The Cave House of Vico Solitario is a typical dwelling carved into the rock of the Sassi of Matera, in the Sasso Caveoso neighbourhood. It is a single-room cave home where the family—and often their animals—lived together. Inside, traditional furnishings have been reconstructed: the hearth for cooking, the table, the bed and spaces for storing food. The house also shows the rainwater collection system in an underground cistern, essential for daily life. Today it is a small museum that shows how the inhabitants of the Sassi lived until the 1950s.
