Italy personified

We thought Lecce was going to be a quieter town and it started out that way but as soon as the sun went down. The people came out in droves. An evening stroll. Lecce is off the coast a bit but a constant ocean breeze through the narrow historic town was refreshing on a hot evening. The dinner was in a 60s era cement fortress, but the atmosphere inside and food was beliisimo! I had pork cheek pizza. 100 tables outside and 75 in. We were the first ones in and when we left it was full and a line to get in was long. Dinner was 60€ but $120 easily back home. The difference in value, the taste and service is remarkable. I dropped my knife on the ground, I had a new knife within seconds. The tuk tuk in ostuni was fun. Like many towns, a Roman amphitheatre was buried and uncovered in the early 20th century. It is used today for events. A wonderful evening. We listened to a string quartet in a hot church, enjoyed street entertainers, plenty of shops and there was a summer music concert, plus all the people watching. It's a vibe only in Italy and done to tourist perfection! Perfecto!Leer más
