Locorotondo, Mediterranean country, to visit having in hand a glass of his serene white: wine and lime. Walking unhurriedly letting wrap scents coming dall'ondulata Itria Valley, steeped in eccentricity Murgia on which dominates from a hill 410 m above sea level, pompous of all its roundness. His name is not only derived from the Latin "locus rotundus" but it is the only one in the world with five "or". Scents of orchards, vineyards, olive, fig and also not so far from the Adriatic Sea. And then like handfuls of confetti colors: white and gray of Trulli, the stone walls and "pagghjare", the brown of "cummerse", the limestone slabs to cover roofs, red and ocher earth, green plants. It is the territory of the districts San Marco, St. Elias, Chopped, Tagaro and Serra, just to name a few. The historic center of Locorotondo is the juice of the visit, in a crescendo of surprises ... spiral, because it is structured: small houses with two or three floors, with a maximum pull lime walls and roofs "cummerse" with wide eyes as windows or arches of alleys, squares, terraces and ringhere wrought iron, small courts, kiosks of saints, chimneys. All this often in an anarchic distribution architecture that, however, you harmony and salt from popular spontaneity. Magic and reality are here without border.
