Puglia, journey through colour
Sky blue, Murgia green, chalk white, fire red: who opens this book must be ready to embark on a journey through colour. Four itineraries following the colours of Puglia, lit up by the pomp of a castle, the marvel of a cave fresco and the plainness of a poppy field or a trip to the lighthouse. Desert islands and cliffs, famous beaches, hikes through the woods and walks across the dazzling white of the historical districts, stepping into masserie and cathedrals, wandering to lonely towers and old theatres. In the “chaos” of Beauty reigns the perfection of a South that is not a brand to be exported, but an interior goal, the endless quest for a South that is inside all of us.
