Matera Italian Town - Italian Movie Trips
The Sassi, ancient and historically primitive dwellings
built into the hillside like honeycombs are defining characteristic of
Matera and its portrayal in many major films. The Sassi are listed as a
Unesco world heritage site. Movies set in Matera: The Passion of the Christ The Passion of
the Christ depicts the terrible pain of Christ's suffering at the
hands of followers and frightened Roman functionaries, with flashbacks
to betrayals and decisive encounters on his path. Matera Italy serves as
the backdrop for his crucifixion. |
