A traveler exploring on foot can enjoy breathtaking sea views, rugged coastal scenery and vast expanses of ancient olive groves seemingly untouched by time.

Our journey in Puglia is one of the best hiking tours in Europe with Trani & Otranto, Frederic II’s imperial Castel del Monte (UNESCO heritage site), the decorative baroque town of Lecce known affectionately as the Florence of the South, the spectacular Castellana Caves and two National Parks. We cross the fertile plain of the Tavoliere and the plateau of the Murge, exciting ecological diversity punctuated by Bronze Age, Greek and Roman archaeological sites, medieval castles and cathedrals. Before ending our beautiful journey we stop to explore the ‘Sassi’ cave dwellings of Matera.

Hospitality in Puglia is a Trulli memorable experience! Our accommodations are in the region’s traditional Masserie – agricultural estates where, during the 19th century, extended families lived and worked protected from pirates and brigands.

If you’ve ever wanted more peace in your life, then do we have the Plum Village, an Artist’s Journey, show for you.

Today I’ll be talking with Phap Ban, Disney Artist, Plum Village Monk, and the author of a beautiful and peaceful work of art, Plum Village, an Artist’s Journey.

And that’s just what I want to talk with him about today, Finding Inner Peace at Thich Nhat Hanh’s Buddhist Monastery.

MORE ON PHAP BAN:

Born in Genoa in 1960, Phap Ban started to publish comic books for Furia, Intrepido, and other magazines during high school. He worked as a freelance illustrator during university, and then, at twenty-four, he discovered meditation. This ultimately led him to Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and the monastery he founded in France, Plum Village. Ban lived in Plum Village for ten years, first as a layman, then as a monk. He received complete ordination in 2010. When he returned to Italy in 2013, he resumed his creative work, this time as an artist for Disney. He has also taught courses at the Academy of Fine Arts in Genoa and at the Lecce School of Cartoon.

Double Play - Docufiction - Moles on Antimafia ITA SUB ENG

A beautiful document that makes us live in direct the two worlds that are opposed to, all too long, the struggle between the mafia and the state, the one worthy to be called that. Unfortunately, it does not fight alone against the occult power of the Mafia, but also against certain unfaithful servants (and there are many!) Who do not hesitate to ask for the same service, appropriating its behaviors, languages, methods. Dedicated to those who still believes in the State and to the investigators and prosecutors who patiently working to make sure that one day we can be finally free from this dark hood that stifles and buries us economically our country, as well as prevent us from living free at last a civilized country. They deserve our respect and gratitude.
