Description
Old Puglia: A Cultural Companion to South-Eastern Italy Located at the heel of Italy, Apulia is a region of breathtaking beauty, boasting Romanesque cathedrals, Gothic castles, and stunning Baroque architecture. Its unique landscape has long been a source of fascination for visitors from around the world. Until recently, Apulia was an under-visited destination for Anglo-Saxon tourists, but it's now gaining popularity as an alternative to Tuscany. With its rich history, beautiful beaches, and delicious cuisine, it's no wonder this region is being featured on radio and television, and its products are increasingly appearing in supermarkets. This book provides a long-overdue introduction to Apulian history, filling the gap left by earlier publications. Written in an approachable and readable style, it offers a comprehensive overview of the region's culture and heritage, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to explore this fascinating corner of Italy.
