Venturing in Italy
Travels in Puglia, Land Between Two Seas
Presented by the Museo ItaloAmericano in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, San Francisco
History abounds in Puglia. From prehistoric caverns to archeological sites of Greek and Roman cities and temples, from houses
built in caves to stone trulli to medieval castles and fortresses. Today's Puglia is vibrantly alive with unique local wines
and cuisine, thermal spas, championship golf courses and its own reggae music. Nineteen writers set loose in the region write
about their experiences in the newly published travel anthology, Venturing in Italy: Travels in Puglia, Land between Two Seas.
Be inspired to visit Puglia on your own voyage of discovery. Join the writers for an evening that will feature a power point
photo presentation and readings from selected stories.
