Matera Shopping Route: Stone, Terracotta and a Food Stop

Start with the object you most want to take home, because the stone and the terracotta workshops answer different purchases.

BG Arte: Piazza Vittorio Veneto 37

Begin here if a carved-stone lamp is the priority. BG Arte also lists addresses at Piazza Sedile 39 and Via Bruno Buozzi 126, so ask which one holds the piece you want.S1

Il Bottegaccio: Via Madonna dell’Idris 10/11

Telephone ahead if you want to see the craft cave, which the workshop books through its contact page.S2 Compare its terracotta with the stone you saw at BG Arte before choosing between them.

Le Lucane: Via delle Beccherie 13/15

Leave food until last so that it spends the least time in a warm bag. Le Lucane’s range runs to dried pasta and peperone crusco powder.S3S4
