The ever-present backdrop for the TV series is Matera, also known as the città dei Sassi. Locations from the historical centre of the city appear in numerous scenes, especially piazza San Francesco and piazza Vittorio Veneto. Some places, such as the characters’ homes, are more hidden but still easily recognised: the house of the sisters’ mother, Antonia, is a hotel in Sasso Barisano; Elena’s house is in Sasso Caveoso. A key location is the cave where the two sisters played when they were young, near the Rupe dei Desideri, in the Parco della Murgia. The place, which offers extremely evocative landscapes, also provides the backdrop for the surprising final scenes.
