Situated in the province of Brindisi in the Puglia region, the municipality of Ostuni is identified by its well-known nickname, "The White City". This designation places the Italian town alongside a specific group of global locations sharing the same title, such as Arequipa in Peru, Belgrade in Serbia, Sucre in Bolivia, and the World Heritage architecture of the Modern Movement in Tel Aviv.
