Description

Puglia is the heel stretching down from the spur of the Italian boot, boasting beautiful landscapes, old cities with Romanesque architecture. Far from inaccessible, until recently it was seldom visited by tourists. Today, however, Puglia is becoming fashionable as an ‘an alternative Tuscany’; travel supplements laud its beaches and cuisine; supermarkets stock Apulian wine, oil and pasta. Yet almost nothing about the region has been published in English since the days of Norman Douglas and the Sitwells. ‘Holiday histories’ of Tuscany abound, but there is no popular introduction to Puglian history, not even in Italian. This book has been written to fill the gap by providing a simple, readable guide of the region.
