    Trulli Houses, Alberobello, Italy - Presentation Transcript

    1. Trulli Houses Alberobello Italy
      • These gleaming houses (whitewashed each year) are curious, rounded structures with gray, stone, cone-shaped roofs. They are trulli, common in the province of Bari and Taranto, yet unknown in the rest of the world. A great number of trulli may be found in the town of Alberobello, which is nearly a city. The town's historical center is on a hilltop, amid the scent of almond and olive trees, and has been declared an International Human Resource by UNESCO. It is made up of a hundred trulli some 5 centuries old. The origin of their oddly-shaped, stone teepee design is unknown. Although some theories date the Trulli back 5000 years, the favorite story of their creation claims that such buildings were first constructed during the Middle Ages. At the time, anyone who built a dwelling on the King's land was heavily taxed. With this in mind, the Pugliesi cleverly devised the drywall stone Trulli solely for purposes of tax evasion.
      • A pesar de que en las zonas donde se construyen los trullos se encuentran hallazgos arqueológicos de épocas prehistórica, o cimentaciones de chozas de piedra de la edad del bronce, no perduran trullos tan antiguos. Esto queda justificado por el hecho de que, en lugar de reparar los desperfectos, en caso necesario preferían derribarlo y construir uno nuevo, por motivos económicos. Los trullos se construían generalmente como habitaciones o almacenes. El trullo era una típica construcción campesina, donde el cozzaro, el que cultivaba la tierra del patrón, podía disponer de una protección donde descansar y guardar los instrumentos de labranza.
      • La ciudad de Alberobello, en la provincia de Bari, es a todos los efectos la «Capital de los trullos», habiendo sido declarados «Los trullos de Alberobello» patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en el año 1996.
