Some fifteen hundred trulli in a single town: Alberobello has been UNESCO-listed since 1996 because nowhere else did dry-stone building with limestone-slab domes produce an entire urban centre. Tradition says the grey stone cones — their whitewashed symbols painted on the roofs — were designed to be dismantled quickly whenever the Kingdom's tax collectors approached.
The Rione Monti district is the postcard; the Trullo Sovrano is the only two-storey one. The right moment is late afternoon, when the coaches pull out and the trulli go back to being homes.

📅 Every year, from 25 to 28 September
Alberobello's patrons are two physicians, Cosmas and Damian, and their feast runs four days: 25 to 28 September, with the relics kept in the basilica named after them.
A roll filled with tuna, capers, salami and cheese: the Pasqualino, invented in Alberobello in 1958, now has its own festival.
