The Prioress' legacy The era of nobility, as we know, is long gone, swept away by new government models suitable for developing capitalist economies. Far from making judgements. History is history, we also know this, and it proceeds like a tank on the destinies of men. The fact is that with the decline of the nobility, the last scions managed to disperse a heritage made up not only of possessions and furnishings, but sometimes also of manners and dignity. These "suicides" in Sicily were called "flights of swallows" and were masterfully described in The Leopard or in our Legacy of the Prioress and lately they also form the backdrop in the wonderful sets of Inspector Montalbano. Entering this café, located in via delle Beccherie in Matera, it almost feels like taking a step back in time. Elegant furnishings (among all the paintings hanging from the ceiling), noble ways and high quality and totally Lucanian products. An example among many, the sighs of Ferrandina, the typical sweets of this town a few kilometers from Matera. For their own survival, over the centuries the First State has shaped traditions and with those they have tried to block the wheel of time, fortunately in vain. But these traditions, willy-nilly, are the backbone of every "people", the characterization and in my opinion it is fundamental to preserve this memory...this Heritage. My impression therefore is that this place serves a bit as a refuge for these "swallows" that have flown away from their old nest and the patrons of this cafe can enjoy this "volatile" company in the wonderful setting of the Sassi, visible from the windows in the internal room. At court there was courtly love and courtliness... well the effort that can be glimpsed is to make courtesy survive. After paying, you dive back into modernity, full of new courtesies and courtesies... but it's nice to be able to count on a nest as soon as you feel the need.
