Stunning. Every word and every photograph. The skull bathroom is so intriguing...I feel like there is something being said there that I can't quite get just yet.

Oh my goodness Kalee—I didn’t see that until I saw your comment—now I can’t see anything else!

Isn't is lovely how every eye finds a different perspective?!

I wish there were a translation of Piovene’s book — my Italian is not *that* good!

The clean neutrality punctuated with occasional color is soothing and beautiful.

What a wonderful trip! Photos are gorgeous. I'll have to get that book by Piovene.

I just learned about the book by complete chance and will be buying it too. There is a wonderful bookstore/cafe/restaurant in Lecce called Liberrima and one of Piovene’s quotes was above the travel books. Worth a visit if you will be close by!

I won't be going to Lecce this time, but I'll look for it in Bari.

I visited Puglia for a few days in October 2023, as part of a trip with three friends whom I've known since I we were 3 years old. We had a lovely time and Puglia was beautiful. I was saddened to learn about the disease affecting the olive trees and I admit that I found parts of Bari terribly touristy, but overall, early October it was a good time to visit. It seems like you've had a blast. And your photos a gorgeous.

We’ve had a really lovely trip. Did not go to Bari; travelled primarily between Ostuni and the heel of the boot. We will definitely be back!

I’m longing for the whitewashed walls dressed in bougainvillea over Mediterranean blue doors

Nothing like it to make one feel very far away 💕
