Puglia

Puglia is a region of southern Italy. Really happy is the combination of the attractions that this land contains, from the 860 kilometers of coastline with sheer cliffs and Caribbean beaches, to quality food and wine: the bread of Altamura Dop, the capocollo of Martina Franca, the bombettas of Cisternino, the extra virgin olive oils and Primitivo, Negroamaro and Nero di Troia wines are just some of the regional excellences. Rock churches, Romanesque cathedrals, the castles of Frederick II and the treasures of the Baroque enrich the artistic profile instead. Puglia are the trulli, ravines, poles and sinkholes, the national parks of Gargano and Murge, the marine reserves of the Tremiti Islands and Torre Guaceto. Puglia are the basilicas, cathedrals and sanctuaries, different artistic expressions united by faith, are the famous terracotta whistles of Rutigliano, the lace of the Gargano, the ceramic products of Grottaglie and the artifacts made in Salento with the tender stone of Lecce, with iron beaten and with papier-mâché. Puglia are the rhythms and colors of the Taranta and the Salento pizzica that receive the due tribute in the famous Notte della Taranta, now the largest festival in Italy dedicated to this traditional dance with ancestral anthropological nuances and one of the most significant cultural events popular in Europe.
