There is a Unusual Puglia, traditional but newwhich deserves to be talked about: a Puglia to be discovered, between historical routes and thematic itineraries, beyond (only) instagrammable views and (always) beautiful dishes to see.
It is a heterogeneous region that, in addition to the two magnificent seas that bathe its coasts, surprises visitors with breathtaking landscapes and the captivating stories of its inhabitants. These stories, capable of entertaining for hours, reveal a local soul that transcends the usual folkloristic stereotypes, inviting us to discover a rich and multifaceted reality, far beyond what is already known.

To discover this fascinating region, we relied on the guide of Silvana Inguscioarchitect and expert of the territory, as well as an oil sommelier and producer of Óliolocale. Her passion for her native land is beautifully reflected in her refined boutique bed and breakfast, Fuoridalguscio Homea Saint Mary of Leuca.
The first suggestion for rediscovering an unpublished and authentic Puglia, Silvana tells us, consists inrely on the voice and passion of the people who live on this land and who work every day on research and industriousness to make it faithful to what it really is.
Chic venues and panoramic views are therefore welcome, but the priority, in the era of the imperative city escape, remains the reconnect with the human being and its most genuine dimension. In fact, it is the individuals who believe in, initiate and carry forward projects and initiatives dedicated to the territory that embody the very essence of the “other Puglia”. To explore the voices, traditions and places that make every corner of this territory unique, we have created a detailed mini-guide which will take you on a journey through the most authentic local lands and productions.
