      Matera is not underrated, it's the 2019 european capital of culture, this brought there a lot of tourists and people generally appreciate the city :).
      Actually as an apulian I think Matera is a bit overrated but it's just my opinion. I prefer cities like Alberobello, Ostuni and Lecce to make 3 typicall examples

Honestly even with the touristy aspect of it ROME is my favorite. The food was amazing there’s so much history and beauty there. You must go see ROME. Thank you for sharing your travels.
