Lonely Planet review for Centro Carlo Levi
A little south, in Palazzo Lanfranchi, the Museum of Modern Art houses the Centro Carlo Levi. Not only was Carlo Levi a writer, he was also an accomplished artist, his paintings maturing from earlier stylistic works to bold, broad-stroked primal images including the enormous mural Lucania '61 which depicts peasant life in Matera in biblical technicolour. The small bookshop sells maps of the sassi. Piazza Pascoli in front of the museum has breathtaking views of Sasso Caveoso.
