Matera es un municipio y ciudad italiana, capital de la provincia homónima, y primera ciudad de la región de Basilicata, en el sur del país (a la que a veces se nombra como Lucania). La habitan unos 60 383 habitantes. La ciudad se encuentra en ángulo oblicuo respecto a un cañón, que ha sido erosionado a lo largo de los años por una pequeña corriente, el Gravina. Cuenta con un casco antiguo muy particular, en el que las casas estaban excavadas en la roca caliza. «Los Sassi y el conjunto de las iglesias rupestres de Matera» fueron declarados por la Unesco Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1993. Aparte de una economía que tradicionalmente se ha basado en la agricultura, a finales de los años 1990, el principal recurso económico de Matera, y de las ciudades que la rodean, es la producción de tapicería. La ciudad fue, junto con la búlgara Plovdiv, Capital Europea de la Cultura en 2019.
