Puglia Tapestries

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.

Who doesn't like our Paesani from Puglia? These fine folks, inhabitants of the fertile and temperate "heel" of the Italian boot, are the heirs of Magna Graecia... the deep rooted Greek culture in Southern Italy. their famous Trulli dwellings are just one of the many unique sights, sounds, and tastes that make Puglia such a unique region, and the Pugliese such a unique people! So, when a prominent Pugliese American pointed out that we had yet to uncover a Pugliese Pride design for our Retro Revival line, we decided to provide our own interpretation of what might have been!
