Matera (Italy), It's a wonderful photographic set N° 1 (UNESCO heritage)

Grazie all’aspetto anacronistico che li caratterizza, i vecchi rioni in tufo sono riusciti ad ospitare le più disparate produzioni cinematografiche, ricoprendo di volta in volta un ruolo diverso e centrale.
Tra le produzioni più importanti va certamente ricordata, nel 1964, quella de “Il Vangelo secondo Matteo” di Pier Paolo Pasolini. Il regista fu il primo a notare le somiglianze che accomunano i Sassi di Matera, con la Murgia Materana, agli scenari mediorientali in cui si è svolta la vita di Gesù. Questo film diede inizio ad una lunga serie di produzioni a tema religioso che hanno riguardato la nascita e la morte di Cristo. Nei decenni successivi, la città di Matera iniziò ad essere maggiormente conosciuta, divenendo set ideale per tante altre produzioni italiane e straniere, perfino hollywoodiane. Sono giunti a Matera alcuni tra i più famosi attori e registri del panorama mondiale, Richard Gere, attore in “King David” (1985), Mel Gibson, regista in “La Passione di Cristo” (2002), Catherine Hardwicke, regista di “The Nativity Story” (2006) e Morgan Freeman, attore nel remake di Ben Hur (2014).

Mel Gibson, New York Daily News:
“Alcune parti della città sono antiche di 2000 anni, e l’architettura, i blocchi di pietra, le zone circostanti e il terreno roccioso aggiungevano una prospettiva ed uno sfondo che noi abbiamo usato per creare i nostri imponenti set di Gerusalemme. Abbiamo fatto molto affidamento sulla vista che c’era li’. In effetti la prima volta che l’ho vista, ho perso la testa, perché era semplicemente perfetta.”

Mel Gibson, New York Daily News:
"Parts of the city are 2,000 years old, and the architecture, stone blocks, surrounding areas and rocky terrain added perspective and background that we used to create our massive Jerusalem sets. We relied heavily on the view that was there. In fact the first time I saw her, I lost my mind, because she was just perfect.”
