A little history
The house is in a 17th-century palazzo in the Piano district, at the upper edge of the Sasso Barisano, next to the little square of San Giovanni Battista and its medieval church.
The name
The name comes from the foggiali, the cavities that were already a feature of this area in the Middle Ages and were used to store provisions. Over time they were linked together and turned into cellars and workshops, and they gave the district its identity.
The renovation
A recent renovation, careful to respect what was already there, has given the house back its stone, its vaults and the architecture typical of Matera. Alongside them are today’s comforts: an intimate setting, designed for anyone who wants to experience the city from a place that is authentic and rich in history.
