Lecce is a city in southern Italy and capital of the province of Lecce, with the second-highest population in the Apulia region. It is on the Salentine Peninsula, at the heel of the Italian Peninsula, and is over two thousand years old.
Because of its rich Baroque architecture, Lecce is nicknamed "The Florence of the South".
“Sono fatta di sogni e di mare.
Vivo di attimi che conservo e accarezzo di nascosto.
Mi piace viaggiare nelle emozioni.
Ho perso molti treni.
Ma quelli più importanti li ho guidati.
Adoro la compagnia, se è quella giusta.
Ma ho un debole per la solitudine, se il rumore è troppo.
Quando ho bisogno di una parola, ascolto il silenzio.
È la voce di ciò che ho dentro.”
Angelo De Pascalis
