Today, I learned about:
One can never wait too long to experience, even indirectly, the sensation of being to a totally different, very interesting place on this globe. In 1975, I had the pleasure of taking a round-trip by train in Europe and as such I left the Greek Island of Corfu after some marvellous days and took a ferryboat to Italy, arriving at Bari, on the Southeast coast. Unfortunately, I did not have time to explore that part of Italy, the regions of Basilicata and Puglia, but now 50 years later, my friend Adriana went there with her siblings to discover further about its enchantements, as well as meeting some distant relatives.
In the header photo of today’s post you can see typical houses in the village of Alberobello, famous for their trullo houses, named as World Heritage by Unesco in 1996. And below are some more photos from Basilicata and Puglia, the first ones from Matera, well known for the caves in the mountains which served as human settlings in the very early days of Italy.
More about these interesting places can be found in references # 1 and 2 below.
I wish all of my faithful followers a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
That’s what I learned in school today!
