Wedding trends: your elopement in Tuscany
20 February 2023
Although the Apulia region in Italy has just recently started to be well-liked as a holiday destination by foreigners, it is already trendy among Italians. In this article, Noces Italiennes wedding planners introduce you to the charming region located in the country of the Dolce Vita.
Apulia in Italy: why choose this destination?
We all have heard of Tuscany, Venice, Rome or the Amalfi Coast and some lucky ones have already visited them. In fact, with its renowned cuisine, its cities full of art and its outstanding coasts, Italy always fascinates lots of tourists. Furthermore, Italy seems such a little country that some people already seem to know it by heart. However, a new destination has recently appeared in tourist guides, and that is Apulia! Unknown to many so far, Apulia has become the new fashionable destination. But what are the reasons for this trend?
Let yourself be seduced by the culinary tradition of Apulia in Italy!
The Apulia region in Italy is indeed full of surprises and beauty.
First of all, the gastronomy of this region is particularly tasty. Land of agriculture and fishing, Apulia offers a wide and flavourful selection of traditional dishes. Let yourself be seduced by fried fish, vegetarian delicacies such as “parmigiana” or by fresh cheeses.
Once back home, with a bottle of olive oil under your arms, you will feel the need of cooking in order to remake some recipes. Here is an interesting website that can help you with that: https://memoriediangelina.com/?s=puglia
The architecture of the Italian towns of Apulia
Once left the table, you can discover small historic centres full of charm. Be ready for a good ride, since Apulia is more than 400 km long!
This territory has been marked by a baroque architectural history, especially in the southern part of the region. The city of Lecce is a perfect example. A true architectural gem, Lecce will fascinate you with its authenticity and untouched historic centre. The local stone, delicate and white, was the preferred material for the building the “Palazzi” that you will find during your wedding ceremony in Apulia. On the “cortili aperti” day (open courtyards), some “Palazzi”’s owners share the secret of their family treasures with curious onlookers. A hidden world will be revealed to your eyes. Here is the website to mark down the next dates of the “cortili aperti”: http://www.leccenelsalento.it/cortili-aperti/
If you can not visit Lecce during those days, do not worry: the city has plenty of treasures for you to explore anyway.
To organize your stay in the “land of Trulli”, you can plan the most interesting things to visit on the website of the national tourism agency.
The Trulli and the Masseria: characteristic landmarks of Apulia
Talking about architecture, the Trulli in Italy are a wonder that deserves a visit. Small constructions with pointed roofs, these houses seem to be straight out of a JRR Tolkien novel! You can see lots of them in the area of Alberobello and Locorotondo, called Itria Valley.
At the same time, the Masseria is a historical building typical and very widespread in the region. Our article on the Masseria of Apulia well explains its origin and peculiarities.
Apulia by the sea
Why do you have to choose between culture and “far niente”? Apulia region in Italy is surrounded by two seas. If you like the beach life and crystal clear water, there is plenty of choices!
You can now understand better why Apulia appeals to and fascinates everyone. All you have to do is just come and visit it on holiday, or who knows… for a wedding in Italy most probably!
