Gagliano del Capo:
Casa Franca is next to the ancient church and piazza, a pleasant longitudinal square flanked by statues, coffee bars and shops for everyday-life. On saturdays there is also a characteristic market in Gagliano and the quiet place is turning to be very bustle and busy.
Barocco Leccese:
Like all the other historical places of the Salento (province of Lecce) also Gagliano is built of warm tuff, a material which creates a special flair. Fascinating is also the barocco leccese, a local baroque stile which culminates in the facades of the churches of Lecce.
Salento:
The Salento is the most southern province of Apulia, an area between two seas, the Ionion and Adriatic with beautiful coasts, still existing greekophone enclaves, adorable and gentle people, interesting historical places, impressing estates (masserie). All over the year sensuosly religious festivities and a fascinating music- and dance-tradition, the Taranta Salentina (Pizzica) with concert highlights in midsummer. A simple but exquisite cuisine. A large variety of pasta dishes, fresh and local growing vegetables, fish and frutta di mare. Excellent wines and enchanting, baroque cities like Lecce, Nardò, Galatina, Gallipoli etc. Still an authentic piece of Italy, newly-discovered in the last years by the Italians itself. The straight tip for insiders!
