Matera is a town in the Basilicata, in the Deep South of Italy. The region has been conquered and reconquered many times and has been under the rule of Romans, Lombards, Arabs, Byzantines, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese, and Bourbons. The name is of Greek origin and means mother (μητέρα), and the high ground with the cathedral is still called acropolis.
In 2023, the Scuola Primaria (elementary school) “G. Pascoli” raised a mail art call for postcards with the theme sorridi! / smile! that was open for everybody.
Right now, you can visit the online edition of the exhibition, commissioned by Tina Festa.
