The carnival of Putignano
One of the oldest and longest carnivals in Italy: it starts on 26 December and ends with a funeral.

The luminarie of Scorrano
Cathedrals of light tens of metres high, built for four nights in July and then taken down.
Baroque Lecce and the stone that made it
Pietra leccese is soft enough to carve like wood and hardens in the air. That is why the city looks like this.
The symbols on the trulli, and the tax dodge
Built dry so they could be pulled down before the tax collector arrived. And the roofs carry signs.
