Madonn', so much of the bel paese is a mindblowing museum, foodie paradise, and more.

Beautiful Bari!

alxpin Italy is famously packed with glorious cities to explore, which means a magical spot like Bari – which would be a headliner in many other countries – here tends to be overshadowed by the likes of Rome, Florence, Venice, its fellow southern-Italian destination Naples, and even neighbouring Apulia (Puglia) region gem Lecce. But to miss out on Apulia’s capital  – astride the Adriatic Sea right on the heel of Italy’s famous boot shape – would be a shame for reasons I’m about to go into. And…

My colleague and I be on a press trip to Sorrento from October 19-22, and wanted to add a couple of extra nights in Naples.

  • very interesting, Ed! thanks for sharing :-) Garibaldi was one of the very few recent Italian history all-positive figures. His nickname was the the "two World-Hero" becuase he also fought in the Uruguay and Brasil revolutions
  • Buzz, Garibaldi is a hero on Staten Island, too, where I grew up. He lived there (with the inventor Anthony Meuci) in the 1850s before returning to Italy and the revolution. The house they lived in is now a museum. Garibaldi has followed me to Manhattan, as well; there's a glorious monument to him (installed in 1888) in Washington Square Park. Anyone else here know either of these sites?
