Alberobello - Where are the trulli and the oldest part of Alberobello? Why, was it built without using cement or mortar? We can imagine Alberobello 700 years ago: Bosco Selva is a perfect time machine. We will explain how a society that lived in subsistence had to build buildings with what it had for centuries. We will observe one of the Karst Geosites created inside the Wood; its tree essences. We will be in the background: Masseria Mangiato; Zippo Masseria; Zippitello and many other places outside the usual tourist circuits
Dry stone walls of various kinds. We will pass by Capo di Gallo; Masseria Cacacenere; Easter woman; Half Wheel Masseria . Iconic places and among the most isolated from the city core until recently - Locorotondo - We will visit areas that have preserved the popular traditions of the last century.
