2. Puglia: an authentic treasure chest
Puglia – ‘Apulia’ to the English-speaking set – is the region located in the
south-east of Italy. Also known as ‘the heel of Italy’s boot’, Puglia is an
idyllic land for any traveller fond of history, art, natural beauties, wine,
food and olive oil culture.
Puglia is the only region in Italy that can boast a perfect balance of East
and West, Greek and Roman, Byzantine and Lombard, Arab and Norman.
Each of these eminent cultures left a bit of their soul in the Pugliese
region, creating an amazing, charming blend.
