Puglia is a region filled with riches – architectural, geographical, gastronomical – all squeezed beautifully into a narrow strip of land in Italy’s far south. There are ancient towns where shady alleys speak of the past. There are baroque cathedrals crowning hilltop cities; curious trulli homes with conical roofs; and proud traditional farmhouses presiding over mile after mile of olive grove and vineyard. There are beautiful beaches and seafront restaurants, exquisite regional foods, traditional crafts (papier-mâché is big in Lecce) and layers of culture laid down over the centuries. Yet, despite this embarrassment of riches, much of Puglia still feels pleasantly under-visited.
