Monti Dauni near Gargano
The Monti Dauni is the hilly zone of Puglia in the province of Foggia which borders three other Italian regions; Abruzzo Molise and Campania. Notable international newspapers and magazines are always looking for the last 'undiscovered' part of Italy, but this zone might just be it. I was invited there as a guest of the Chamber of Commerce of Foggia as part of the SIAFT (Southern Italy Agrifood and Tourism) opinion leader trip. Not only did we go, we did the whole trip by 4x4 off road vehicles, such is the terrain which remains off limits to the casual tourist.…Last modified on 10 April 2013

Carnival of Putignano
This year's carnival is something like number 630 and the comune of Putignano in Bari are proud to claim that theirs is one of the oldest and certainly the longest in Italy, if not the world. Experts have pinpointed the date of the first carnival to the 26 December 1394 and, while it finishes as many others do on 'martedì grasso', the celebrations start on this same day with the tradition of 'Propaggine'. The protagonist of the carnival is 'Farinella' who first appeared on the scene in his current form in only 1953. He wears a green and white suit…
The Appian Way of Wine
The Appian Way of Wine or 'L'Appia dei Vini' is the name of a wine route or 'strada del vino' which passes through the province of Brindisi in Puglia. It departs from the countryside around Ostuni and takes in the comune of Latiano, Mesagne, S.Vito dei Normanni and ends in the city of Brindisi. This is in effect the ancient wine producing zone of Enotria which literally means 'land of wine' although the name was used by the Greeks to refer to all of today's Apulia. THe Appian Way, of course, started in Rome and ended in Brindisi.
Guide to Gallipoli
Gallipoli is located in the province of Lecce on the west coast of Salento. It is known as the queen of the 'Basso Ionio', mainly because of the fabulous setting of the old city nestled on a small island just off the coast, closed and defended from the elements and much more. Some say the island was built by the Venetians properly for this purpose, but even the Romans had built a perimeter fortification. Today, the island is connected to the mainland by a bridge.
Alberobello and the Trulli
The whitewashed conical shaped homes or trulli of Alberobello have become the symbol of the region of Puglia in a way the famous cypress tree road in the Orcia Valley has become the symbol of Tuscany. So much so when we saw them for first time, they seemed like old friends. Yet, there are literally thousands of trulli in and around the Itria Valley. Alberobello may be the iconic city, but the trulli were essentially temporary countryside accommodation. They could be dismantled and the roof elements built elsewhere in no time at all, often to beat the local taxman in times past. Drive…
Guide to Foggia
Of all the names of Italian towns and cities, Foggia could well be the least romantic. It just doesn't throw up images in the same way as San Gimignano or Urbino. Yet, it is full of history as it sits the center of the 'Tavoliere', an immense plain is as flat as a pancake and historically an important crossroads for agricultural trade. Its peak (no pun intended!) was in 15th century following a period of rule by Frederick II who liked to hunt in the nearby forests. From the 16th century it declined, was sacked by the French, rebelled to no effect…
