In questi giorni siamo stati a Dozza, comune medioevale vicino a Bologna ed Imola (Emilia Romagna).
La sua particolarità è data dai tanti affreschi che abbelliscono le vie del paesino.
Una visita consigliamo di farla !! :)

Dozza, Italy Flyover
Today's flight comes from a small town in the north of Italy called Dozza. Dozza is located about 40 km (25 miles) southeast of Bologna and is known for the wonderful murals painted on the walls of the buildings as well as the Sforza Castle. Our italian family took us there this afternoon to explore a bit, so I obviously took the opportunity to go for a flight. I'm still learning to fly this thing, but enjoying it all the same.

Matera- UNESCO World Heritage Site- part 4
Welcome to Varshastravel360
Matera, Italy
This is the fourth part of a series of UNESCO World Heritage site, Matera. If you want to watch the previous 3 parts, I have put the links below in the description.
In the previous part, we walked on the other side of the valley and then saw the ancient caves called Sassi of Matera.
Let’s walk further. In this part, we are going to visit the Casa Grotto- an ancient cave dwelling converted into a museum now.
This museum has 3 parts and this is the first one- cave house.
This is the kitchen area with some iron and earthen pots.
Next to it, this is a large room like living area cum bedroom cum everything. They have got some storage, bed, and more furniture stuff.
Look at this, they have got a horse here. Yes, these people used to stay with their animals in the same house.
This inside area was used to keep poultry and pigs.
You might have got an idea; how unhealthy lifestyle was it. Recently until mid 20th century, people used to live in such conditions. Later, Italian government forcefully vacated these cave houses and then converted in such museums.
There seems to be some underground space also.
The second part is ‘Neviera’. That’s like water storage area. In winter, people used to store ice in there and then in summer, it would melt and serve as a water source.
This is a church, dug in the rocks. Here, they used to keep their cattle.
That tour of Casa Grotto was interesting. They have Italian Audio information and for English, they gave us a printed translation of that audio. I highly recommend visiting this Casa Grotto to understand some recent history.
Ohh, we have been walking all day. Let’s relish on some ice-cream. Here, we can see some shops selling food and souvenirs. This is Matera’s traditional bread.
By the evening, we returned to Piazza Vittorio Veneto for this twilight views. If you are here for the whole day, then wait until sunset to these amazing views.
Here, we finish our tour through UNESCO World Heritage site Matera. I hope you enjoyed it.
Until next time with another destination.
Keep traveling and bye bye from Varsha.
