CASA GROTTA
DEL VICINATO
The Casa Grotta del Vicinato is an example of how the Matera people lived until the displacement of the 60s. The first environment is the built environment, recognizable by the masonry blocks. In this space there is a wood stove. Immediately we pass into the negative part. To the right we see the wine shed, for oil, depending on the area, the kneading trough to keep the flour and to knead. In the center, the table with only two chairs and the sewn plate. The earthenware dishes, the jars, the skins ... were repaired by the Conza Piatti which applied some metal points which it then covered.
