Places to see in ( Puglia - Italy )
Puglia, a southern region forming the heel of Italy’s “boot,” is known for its whitewashed hill towns, centuries-old farmland and hundreds of kilometers of Mediterranean coastline. Capital Bari is a vibrant port and university town, while Lecce is known as “Florence of the South” for its baroque architecture. Alberobello and the Itria Valley are home to “trulli,” stone huts with distinctive conical roofs.
Puglia is Italy’s ascendant region, a place where savvy travellers bored or worn down by the crowds of Campania and Tuscany escape for something a bit less frenetic and manicured. Top of the list for prospective newcomers is the food. Puglia’s cucina povera is about as earthy as Italian cuisine gets without eating it straight out of the soil. Then there’s the exuberant architecture, best summarised by the word ‘baroque’ and exhibited in all its finery in the glittering ‘Florence of the South’, Lecce, and its smaller sibling, Gallipoli.
With the longest coastline of any region in mainland Italy, Puglia is larger than many people realise. In the north, the spur of land sticking out into the Adriatic is occupied by the balmy microclimates of the Gargano peninsula, a kind of miniature Amalfi with fewer poseurs. The Italian boot’s ‘stiletto’ hosts the land of Salento, a dry scrubby region famous for its wines, and bloodthirsty Greek and Turkish history. In between lies the Valle d’Itria, a karstic depression populated by vastly contrasting medieval towns that have little in common apart from their haunting beauty. Of the larger cities, Brindisi, an erstwhile Roman settlement, is one of the major departure points for Greece (by ferry), while Puglia’s largest metropolis, Bari has a university and trendier inclinations.

Places to see in ( Naples - Italy ) Galleria Borbonica
Places to see in ( Naples - Italy ) Galleria Borbonica
The Galleria Borbonica , is an underground cavity of Naples that extends under the hill of Pizzofalcone , near Palazzo Reale , in the San Ferdinando district . By decree of 19 February 1853 Ferdinand II of Bourbon commissioned the architect Errico Alvino a long underground tunnel that connected the Largo della Reggia (today Piazza Plebiscito) to Piazza della Vittoria , passing under the Pizzofalcone hill . A first idea of running a gallery under the hill, which had no results or concrete consequences, was elaborated by Antonio Niccolini around 1850 .
The work was part of the public works (infrastructures and not) that Ferdinand II had devised, but its true purpose was military: it had to be a quick way out (towards the sea) for the royal family in case of riots and a quick connection to the palace for soldiers quartered in the barracks of Chiaia: the Caserma della Vittoria and the Barracks of the Cavallerizza .
Alvino provided a two-lane tunnel with two sidewalks to the sides. The two outlets were in the west on Via della Pace (today via Morelli, always open in 1853 by Alvino himself), just in front of the Vittoria barracks, while in the east near the Piazza Carolina, behind the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola . The tunnel should have been called Galleria Reale and both lanes should have taken the royal names: the one leading to Chiaia was to be called Strada Regia while the one in the opposite direction Strada Regina .
The Bourbon Gallery has two entrances:
via Domenico Morelli, near Piazza dei Martiri , inside the Morelli car park.
vico del Grottone nº4, Traversa di via Gennaro Serra, near Piazza del Plebiscito , a few tens of meters above the prefecture building . This access was made in the eighteenth century to allow the wells to maintain the tanks of the ancient aqueduct, used to access the air-raid shelter during the war and then filled with debris and rubble.
via Monte di Dio n. 14, Palazzo Serra di Cassano . This access was made in the eighteenth century to allow the pozzari to perform maintenance at the cistern of the Serra di Cassano palace, used to access the air-raid shelter during the war years and later filled with debris and rubble.

Places to see in ( Naples - Italy ) Posillipo
Places to see in ( Naples - Italy ) Posillipo
Posillipo is a residential quarter of Naples, southern Italy, located along the northern coast of the Gulf of Naples; it is called Pusilleco in the Neapolitan language. From the 1st century BC the Bay of Naples witnessed the rise of villas constructed by elite Romans along the most panoramic points of the coast, who had chosen the area as a favourite vacation spot. The remains of some of these can be seen today in the archaeological park and elsewhere.
he houses at water's edge all have at least small piers or landings, and there are even a few small coves with breakwaters along the way. These small harbors are the nuclei for separate, named communities such as Gaiola and Marechiaro, with the characteristic Large rock.
The French Homeric scholar Victor Bérard identified Posillipo as the land of Homer's Cyclopes. It is mentioned in ancient Greek and Roman sources and the Greeks first named this rocky, wooded height at the western end of the Bay of Naples Pausílypon, meaning respite from worry.
In the 17th century the property of the site of the imperial villa passed to the family Maza who, for several generations, showed an interest in archaeology and Francesco Maria Maza (circ. 1680) was the author of inscriptions which he affixed to the so-called 'Piscine of V.Pollio' and to the 'Temple of Fortune' which were in situ in 1913. However the Maza collection was dispersed and the loss to archaeological science was irreparable as a catalogue had never been prepared. Several objects of art from Posillipan sites found their way into the hands of Spanish collectors, and are still no doubt among the Roman antiquities in Spain. Many fine pieces were taken to Mergellina and lost among the other ornaments of the villa of the Duke of Medina.
In 1820 the southern portion of the property was purchased by a well-known Neapolitan archaeologist, Cavaliere Guglielmo Bechi, and his name was associated with the Villa for more than half a century. He did much excavation, but again without publication of results.
In 1841 more methodical excavations were begun on the adjoining property to the west of the ancient lane that led down the valley from the Seiano cave to the sea. The principal buildings of that part of the Villa were soon brought to light; the Theatre, an Odeon, and the remains of a Portico overlooking the sea. An oblong building called the Temple was also found and the remains of an aqueduct.
In about 1870 the Marchese del Tufo opened a quarry for pozzolana clearing away the central part of what had been a broad continuous terrace along the south front of the property in Roman times. The buildings that stood on the hillside above the terrace, including the southern part of the baths, fell down the slope into the sea.
The archaeological park is one of the most beautiful places in the city and along the coast of Posillipo. Among the most important sites are the Seiano cave, the underwater park of Gaiola, the imperial villa of Pausilypon, the Odeon, the theatre and the Palace of the Spirits.
The ruins of the Roman villa of Vedius Pollio, also known as the Imperial Villa, include a 2000-seat theatre on the rocky promontary at the end of the Bay of Naples. Some of the villa's rooms can be seen with traces of the wall decorations while its marine structures and fish ponds are now part of the neighbouring submerged Gaiola (Park) Park.

Hola, soy Juanma, tu guí a personal, y junto a MyWoWo te damos la bienvenida a una de las maravillas del mundo: la Catedral, la iglesia más grande e importante de la ciudad.
La grandiosa Catedral de Palermo, dedicada a la Virgen de la Asunción, nació en la época normanda tras una especie de disputa entre el poder del rey y el del obispo.
El rey normando Guillermo II, llamado «el Bueno», querí a construir una nueva catedral en Monreale, y creó una maravilla sin precedentes. El arzobispo Gualtiero Offamilio, que se oponí a a la decisión del rey, decidió entonces demoler la antigua catedral de Palermo y construir una nueva que superara la de Monreale.
La nueva y magní fica iglesia se consagró en 1185 y, en los años siguientes, se continuó con la construcción de la fachada y el porche sur. Posteriormente, el edificio sufrió varias modificaciones hasta la radical transformación que llevó a cabo entre 1781 y 1801 el florentino Ferdinando Fuga, uno de los arquitectos más de moda de la época: consistió en añadir las capillas y cambiar el aspecto general incluyendo la gran cúpula...

Places to see in ( Naples - Italy ) Palazzo Reale
Places to see in ( Naples - Italy ) Palazzo Reale
The Royal Palace of Naples is a palace, museum, and historical tourist destination located in central Naples, southern Italy. It was one of the four residences near Naples used by the Bourbon Kings during their rule of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (1734-1860): the others were the palaces of Caserta, Capodimonte overlooking Naples, and the third Portici, on the slopes of Vesuvius.
The palace is on the site of an earlier residence, which had housed the former viceroy Don Pedro de Toledo, Marquis of Villafranca. Construction on the present building was begun in the 17th century by the architect Domenico Fontana. Intended to house the King Philip III of Spain on a visit never fulfilled to this part of his kingdom, instead it initially housed the Viceroy Fernando Ruiz de Castro, count of Lemos. By 1616, the facade had been completed, and by 1620, the interior was frescoed by Battistello Caracciolo, Giovanni Balducci and Belisario Corenzio. The decoration of the Royal Chapel of Assumption was not completed until 1644 by Antonio Picchiatti.
In 1734, with the arrival of Charles III of Spain to Naples, the palace became the royal residence of the Bourbons. On the occasion of his marriage to Maria Amalia of Saxony in 1738, Francesco De Mura and Domenico Antonio Vaccaro helped remodel the interior. It was Charles who build the other three palaces in locations more peripheral to the city center. Further modernization took place under Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies. In 1768, on the occasion of his marriage to Maria Carolina of Austria, under the direction of Ferdinando Fuga, the great hall was rebuilt and the court theater added. During the second half of the 18th century, a new wing was added, which in 1927 became the Vittorio Emanuele III National Library. By the 18th century, the royal residence was moved to Reggia of Caserta, as that inland town was more defensible from naval assault, as well as more distant from the often-rebellious populace of Naples.
During the Napoleonic occupation the palace was enriched by Joachim Murat and his wife, Caroline Bonaparte, with Neoclassic decorations and furnishings. However, a fire in 1837 damaged many rooms, and required restoration from 1838 to 1858 under the direction of Gaetano Genovese. Further additions of a Party Wing and a Belvedere were made in this period. At the corner of the palace with San Carlo Theatre, a new facade was created that obscured the viceroyal palace of Pedro de Toledo.
In 1922, it was decided (by the Decree of the Minister Antonino Anile) to transfer here the contents of the National Library (until then in the palace of National Archaeologic Museum). The transfer of library collections was made by 1925. The library suffered from bombing during World War II and the subsequent military occupation of the building caused serious damage. Today, the palace and adjacent grounds house the famous Teatro San Carlo, the smaller Teatrino di Corte (recently restored), the Biblioteca Nazionale Vittorio Emanuele III, a museum, and offices, including those of the regional tourist board.
In 1888, King Umberto I of Savoy made changes to the western façade side of the building (fronting on Piazza del Plebiscito), by displaying in niches a series of statues of prominent rulers of Naples since the foundation of the Kingdom of Naples in the 12th century. The statues are displayed in chronological order, based on the dynasty of each ruler. The series starts with Roger the Norman (sculpted by Emilio Franceschi), and ends with Vittorio Emanuele II, the tallest statue and the last to be added (sculpted by Francesco Jerace).
