Considering that we are not confident drivers, renting a car is not a viable option for us. Are there any alternative transportation options available to reach Matera from either FCO or NAP?
Train from FCO to Matera is about 6 hours
Train from Napoli Centrale (you'll need to take a taxi or bus from the airport) to Matera is about 4 hours.
Look at trenitalia site for options/schedules https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html

Train from Bari Centrale to Matera Centrale is about 1:45
Look at https://ferrovieappulolucane.it/ for options/schedules

I believe there is also bus service from Bari to Matera and there are probably bus options from Roma and Napoli as well.
