LA PUGLIA
© Marco Minischetti
Puglia is a plurality of beauties.
Passing through its territory is a journey which seduces everyone.
Going down from north to south, at first your eyes rest upon its wild and uncontaminated beauty.
The Gargano. A savage land which is embraced on the sides by the Adriatic sea.
The Gargano of saltpan. The Gargano with its trabucchi, traditional fishing equipment. The Gargano of a green landscape which gets into your eyes. The Gargano of herds of sheep which occupy the street not allowing you to pass. The Gargano of countryside streets which seem alike. The Gargano of traffic signs which suddenly disappear and where getting lost smells like a journey.
Walking towards the south you reach “terra di Bari”, a narrow place between Murge upland and the sea. It is a land full of magic architectural elements where the relationship among arts, history and tradition is strongly felt.
Bari, the place of “sottan”, the town of “comari”, where aged women hang out on their porch. Bari is the town of orecchiette, handmade pasta produced in the alleys and Saint Nicola photos hung everywhere. In the alleys, “viuzze”, the smell of homemade tomato sauce invite you to stop, have conversation and delay your return.
Travelling further south you reach the mystical Salento: a unique mix of tradition, folklore and landscape beauty. The land of “morso della taranta” (tarantula bite). The land of a sweet and sour scent of the countryside, of olive trees, of prickly pears and dry-stone walls. The place inhabited by women who fascinate. Women whose blood is alive and whose heart is crazy. The Salento of street artists. The land of a traditional dance : pizzica. The place of village festivals, tambourines, red wine and baroque art to discover.
The Salento in which even the stones sweat poetry.
Puglia enchants and drugs you into a dream.
Puglia is where you can rent a car, travel along the coast and stop where you want. Wherever you are, you can look at the warm light of the sunset shining on an infinite sea.
