Southern Italy, Summer 2015
In July and August 2015, we spent a few weeks touring the southern Italian provinces of Basilicata, Puglia and Campania.
I am i the process of uploading a selection of photographs from that trip. As usual, whenever relevant or necessary, I will write a specific caption below in bold type.
The village of Brienza is located in a particularly mountainous part of Basilicata. Overlooked by its Mediæval castle, it is an interesting place to visit. Approaching it from the South allows gorgeous viewpoints on the old sheet wall that went around the whole place in the Middle Ages, and looks like a miniature China Wall. Surely wasn't easy to defend, though, and probably required more troops than what the village would be able to supply in times of crisis...
