Old Puglia
Apulia (or Puglia) is the heel of Italy, stretching down from the spur of the Italian boot. But, although far from inaccessible, until quite recently it was seldom visited by Anglo Saxons. Its landscape is often very beautiful and it has wonderful old cities with Romanesque cathedrals, Gothic castles and a great wealth of Baroque architecture, together with 'rupestrian' churches that contain Byzantine frescoes.
It is featured on radio and television; travel supplements describe its beaches and its cooking, supermarkets stock Apulian wine, oil, bread and pasta. Today, however, Apulia is becoming fashionable, 'an alternative to Tuscany'. Yet almost nothing about the region has been published in English since the days of Norman Douglas and the Sitwells.
One can find 'holiday histories' of Tuscany, but there is no popular introduction to Apulian history, not even in Italian. Our
