Why visit
Grottole is the birthplace of Carlo Cecere, born on 7 November 1706, who moved to Naples as a young musician and worked there as violinist, flautist and theatre composer.
Origins and history
Grottole was fortified by the Lombards, and managed to free itself from them around the year 1000. In 1042, in Norman times, the fief passed under William Iron Arm, and afterwards to Robert Guiscard and to the Loffredo counts of Matera; in 1534 it passed under the marquises Sanchez de Luna d'Aragona, treasurers of the Kingdom of Naples. The village lies in the province of Matera, between the rivers Basento and Bradano.
