The Puglia/Molise region
Apulia (Italian: Pulgia) is a region whose variety is its greatest wealth. The Gargano promontory plunges into the sea alongside famous resorts such as Rodi Garganico, Peschici and Vieste whereas inland there are pine, holm-oak and beech forests that lead to the Umbra forest. It is in Apulia that you will see the famous “trulli” of Alberobello, picturesque white houses with conical shaped roofs and of very ancient origins and then there is the Grotte of Castellana which is Italy’s largest spelaeologist centre.
The countryside offers very fascinating views which are sometimes sunny and barren, at other times there will be vineyards, almonds and olive groves. Apulia is not without its Roman, Norman and Angevin historic and artistic treasures either. In the heart of the Salento is Lecce, Florence’s Baroque rival – a city which is an authentic festival of Baroque and Roccoco styles. Visitors will be fascinated by its strange and fascinating golden colours which result from the Apulian stones.
