Overview
Matera reveals itself in Palazzo Acito, a 17th century building open to curious and enterprising travellers. In its rooms you will live a unique experience: the city of the Sassi is all there, in 'La Secretissima camera de lo core', a whale's belly to cross, a labyrinth that will tell you about an unprecedented Matera. Accompanied by two exceptional guides, Luciana and Massimo, actors from the Teatro dei Sassi, you will have a sensorial and engaging journey to the places of citizens' hearts: moving 40 works by national and international artists, listening to ancient stories, legends whispered between talking objects and emotional maps up to Il Giuoco dei Sissi: a dice, 7 cuckoos as placeholders and Wonder cards and of Restlessness, keys to access the language, the mysteries, the sayings, the places of the city. But it doesn't end here because the game continues outside, in the historic center of Matera, in search of those secrets revealed by the cards. And if your answers are correct you will receive a welcome surprise.
What's included
- The consumption of an ice cream in an ancient ice cream shop in the city as the final gift of the Game of Stones
