Puglia the beautiful, Puglia the charming
This is the trullo, the famous Puglian trullo that almost everyone knows about and that has been declared by UNESCO a part of the heritage of all mankind.
I knew about trulli and I had seen many photographs of them. I didn’t even make any special plans to go where they were most numerous. Of course I wanted to see one. Who wouldn’t? I was totally unprepared to have my breath taken away and tears come to my eyes as we saw the beginnings of Trulli land. “It’s like Ireland with elves!” I cried. Late March had greened the land, fluffy clouds scudded over a Madonna blue sky and the trulli lay dozing among the shallow hills.
I suppose that this too is something that can only happen once.
