History
Alberobello’s trulli are traditional dry‑stone constructions with conical roofs developed from local limestone techniques; Matera’s Sassi are millennia‑old cave dwellings recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Conservation
Both sites are fragile: stay on marked paths, avoid touching delicate stonework, support local artisans and limit single‑use plastics to reduce tourism impact.
