From the reliefs of the southern Murgia area, Ostuni, white with light and lime,
overlooks the Adriatic sea, offering itself to the visitor in all its radiant
beauty. Located at the edge of the Itria Valley, it preserves the reserved
bashfulness of the tumbledown villages of this rather intriguing strip of land,
together its own gaiety and liveliness, typical of the towns which have
developed beside the sea, from which it is just six kilometres away. A landscape
full of charm and fascination which is characterised by the presence of olive
trees, abundantly scattered on the plains and on the rocky crags. A town filled
with historical stratification which, over the course of time, has been
Messapian and Roman; it has know the rule of the Lombards, of Byzantium, of the
Normans, the Swabians, the Angevins and the Aragonese, as well as the tyranny of
the Spanish family of the Zevallos, the Bourbon government, and the anarchical
tension of the Italian Risorgimento.
This ancient village, ensconced in the candid outflow of lime, bewitches and
intrigues with manifold summons. From this place, it is possible to pursue and
grasp the traces of the times and the civil and religious history of the peoples
who inhabited the place, or to simply lose oneself in the inextricable labyrinth
of the narrow white streets, immerse oneself, forgetting the weight of history,
in that dreamy atmosphere where the voices of a simple and cordial humanity
resound. Enclosed and fortified in its circle of walls, the old centre extends
here and there in airy terraces; almost balconies in space in the discovery of
the most enchanting of panoramas: the hill descends in a series of vegetable
gardens and silvery olive groves towards the crystal clear azure of the sea.
Ostuni marina, twenty kilometres of multiform coastline bounded by the typical
Mediterranean scrub vegetation, complete with all kinds of tourist facilities. A
delightful counterpoint to the bright colours of Ostuni marina are the quieter
tones and the lyrical tranquillity of the countryside, defined as "la selva"
(‘the forest’), this is the kingdom of the mythical trulli, symbol and emblem of
the farming civilisation. But this is not all that makes up Ostuni, entrusting
oneself to a "classic" guide may deprive the visitor of the pleasure of
discovering it, step by step, in the wealth of its landscapes and in its rich
historical, artistic, folkloristic and human heritage.
