The classic tour. A pleasant dive in the Sassi. We will walk along narrow streets and ancient alleys to find out the most evocative corners of the ancient Sassi togheter. We will discover the chaotic, spontaneus and spectacular architecture of Sassi enojyng breathtaking views.
But there is more than that. Only a few decades ago the very same Sassi we admire today were considered the Italian national shame. What led to such degradation? Why were the Sassi abandoned? And how come that the same caves, from which once people wanted to escape, have now become prestigious hotels?
