THE ROOTS OF MEN WHO WERE SUPER HEROES
The Tale of Extraordinary Gentlemen often has various versions, but the basis of all is mystery. For you who are a traveler, we have created a story/journey that reconstructs not only a cult that has developed over the years, but the story of territories and other lesser-known men
With us you will learn news and observe places that we have been able to reconstruct only through data analysis and inclusion of historical news.
We know that your ideal holiday is linked to your curiosity and passion but maybe you don't have time to organize everything. This story/journey is the best holiday that will combine these needs of yours ... and the theme Saints and Demons will let you discover many other details of this part of Puglia (the South-East Murge) that has been magical for more than 2500 years.
Vessels sunk along the coast or that have been saved in the same points; a Community that escaped the Plague; premonitory dreams of disasters or happy events; Envy and Pride punished by the Saints … all part of a tiny little universe that has had a development that is as rapid as it is traumatic.
Everything that cannot be explained is due to God or the fault of the Devil, but there is also a world in between. Strange sprites who act in different moods, now helping now hindering the inhabitants of the places where they dwell.
Legends that still bounce among the spiers of castles and trulli built with dry stone
