Sassi & Murgia
A Visual Atlas

A series of four posters dedicated to the UNESCO heritage landscape of Matera and the Murgia Materana — one of the oldest continuously inhabited places on earth.

Each illustration maps a fragment of this territory through Bold & New Old iconography: the carved stone arches of the Sassi, the geometric light of the cave dwellings, the Falco Grillaio circling above the ravine. Forms that are simultaneously ancient and graphic, rooted in place and universally readable.

Typography and image work together as they always have in Matera — carved, layered, built to last.

Hand-crafted digital illustration. Series of 4.
