Italy Beautifull tree
The city of Alberobello (beautifull tree) is unique in Italy, and unique in EU, but it's not Unique in the mediterranean basin, this peculiar structures are typical of the village of Harran in Turkey as well, this may be not too surprising since the Mediterranean sea got to know the concept of globalization several millenniums ago, what amaze me is seeing how this building technique is stil in use now days in Alberobello's surroundings.
Photography Tips
Just one, Puglia is great in Summer, many events, loads of "Sagre", overwhelming Taranta atmosphere, but, the entire region has become a mass tourism place, August and July are both the best and the worst, prepare to deal with many people.
