About the artwork

This photo takes you to the picturesque town of Alberobello, located in the enchanting region of Puglia, Italy. At the heart of this unique place stands a trullo, a characteristic and traditional architectural style typical of this region.

A trullo is a type of house with a cone-shaped roof, made of local limestone, that was built without the use of cement. The architectural style dates back to the 14th century and is unique to the region for its primitive construction methods and striking appearance. The trulli's conical roofs were originally intended to avoid taxes, as they could be quickly taken down when tax inspectors came by.

The trullo in the photo stands proudly in the sunlight, with its conical roof, stone walls and unique structure. The front door and chimney add character to this picturesque structure. It is an image that embodies Alberobello's rich history and charming architecture.

Alberobello is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique trulli architecture. Walking through the narrow streets of Alberobello, you will feel as if you have travelled back in time, surrounded by these fairytale houses.

Alberobello's surroundings are also breathtaking. The Puglia countryside is known for its rolling hills dotted with olive trees and vineyards, and the clear blue sky reflects in the vast Adriatic Sea that is not far from Alberobello.

This picture is not only a visual treat, but also an invitation to explore the history, culture and natural beauty of Puglia. It is a reminder of the timeless charm of Alberobello and its surroundings, which has enchanted travellers for generations with its unique beauty.
