Matera, in southern Italy\'s Basilicata region, was names a European Capital of Culture last year. Interest in the ancient city - famed for its Sassi area of two distinctive districts carved out of caves - unsurprisingly surged. Not far from this maze of cinematic stone dwellings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is La Suite, a minimalist hotel evocative of Italy\'s circa-1920s and \'30s rationalism movement, that captures Matera\'s transition into modernity.
