So you have decided to go to Basilicata, a region of southern Italy bordering on the Gulf of Taranto and the Tyrrhenian Sea. This is the real Italy, relatively neglected by tourists. Like most Italian cities, Matera has a lovely Cathedral but it also is home to a wide variety of churches, some of which are situated in caves. Talking about caves, the Sassi di Matera (Stones of Matera) are caves that have been occupied continuously by human beings for an estimated nine thousand years. This area has been used again and again in films because of its similarity to ancient Jerusalem. The Parco Nazionale del Pollino (Pollino National Park) the largest one in all Italy covers just under 750 square miles (more than 1900 square kilometers). If you like historic churches, be sure to visit the neighboring villages that hold spring and summer festivals with an Albanian flavor; many of the inhabitants are ethnic Albanians. The village of Noèpoli is home to the Palazzo Rinaldi artist's residence.Basilicata is home to three DOC wines, Matera made in a variety of styles near the city of that name, Terra dell'Alta Val d'Agri a red or rosé made from a variety of grapes grown near the Campanian...more

So you have decided to go to Apulia, the heel of the Italian boot surrounded by the Adriatic Sea and the Gulf of Taronto. This is part of the south, in many ways the real, unspoiled Italy. The boot's spur is the beautiful Promontorio del Gargano (Gargano Promontory). You may want to visit the Foresta Umbra (Shady Forest), a real ecological delight bursting with animal and plant life. There's the mysterious eight-sided Castel del Monte. Don't miss the unique Apulian habitations, Trulli, that look like limestone teepees. Would you believe that some have been transformed into wineries? The Grotte di Castellana form the largest network of caves in all Italy. Finish your tour in the relatively unknown city of Lecce, sometimes called "the Florence of the south." You'll find baroque architecture, a cathedral, historic churches, a Piazza, and the remains of a Roman Amphitheater. Why not finish your tour at the inexpensive Wine Bar Corte dei Pandolfini?Apulia, also known as Puglia, is a high-volume wine producer. The plains are hot and fertile, so that sounds like three strikes against fine wine. To some extent this is true, but forward-looking producers are making a real effort to trade...more
