Apulia supplies the 80% of the world production of pasta and extra virgin olive oil.
Every single olive tree is protected by UNESCO.
There are towns in southern Apulia who were colonies of the Great Greece, where people still speak the ancient Greek.
Lecce is known as the ‘Florence of the South’ for its Baroque, magnificent architecture.
Every Sunday, along the streets of the town centers, women have fun doing the typical fresh pasta of the region: orecchiette (ear-shaped pasta).

The Mediterranean diet and its products are part of the UNESCO Heritage: orecchiette pasta, burrata, Altamura bread, frisa bread with tomato sauce and vegetables represent the most important. A chief product also to mention is the local Primitivo wine, a real excellence that sets Apulia in the top ten of the most popular destinations for wine lovers.
