Matera, 1945-1960: The History of a 'National Disgrace' - Italian Modernities
Patrick McGauley
The southern Italian city of Matera was dubbed a "national disgrace" in the immediate post-war period due to media and political focus on its distinctive cave homes, the Sassi. This book explores how and why Matera came to be viewed in such negative terms and investigates the impact this had on the city's social and urban development.
