Readers who see the latest James Bond film, No Time to Die, may find themselves distracted from the requisite car chase that takes place early in the piece by the breathtaking scenery in which it occurs.
Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed city in southern Italy, stands on a location that has been occupied for 8000 years. It is famous for its Paleolithic cave dwellings carved into the limestone hillsides, many of which have been turned into pubs, hotels and museums.
Pre-Covid, the city was attracting about 400,000 visitors a year, a figure that seems likely to increase thanks to 007 – and Aston Martin.
