Italy is slowly sharing and with her our inexhaustible desire to travel, dream and walk barefoot our beloved land, rich in perfumes, colors and traditions to admire and respect.
Today I want to tell a story. That of the great poet Gabriele D'Annunzio and his trip to Puglia in the last days of September of a distant 1917; a journey rich in history and poetry and intertwined identities, which was able to give to those who were the evocative sensations and full of wonderful details.
"We leave for Brindisi by car. Long, dazzling road, for a country of thirst. Big whitewashed villages. The olive trees. Between Alberobello and Locorotondo the strange landscapes scattered with trulli. A kind of stone pavilion. The conical stone pavilions with the flower on top. The trulli brown and white. The groups of cones. I think of a house made of seven trulli with a golden interior, with walls of lapis lazuli, with floors covered with Arab carpets. In Alberobello the feast of Cosimo and Damiano, the feast of Santi Medici. Floats full of pilgrims, processions, music... Remote country as a dream, and as an ancient age. The white road between walls and dry. Olive trees consorts, on the great stumps, like those of the bay of Ithas, of Delphi, of Aegina; Greek olive trees.
The grass is burnt in the shade, the colour of tawny velvet. The black sheep, the sheep of the sacrifices to the gods of burial, who flee between shadow and shadow. A few yellow-eyed black goats. A few half-naked peasants, similar to certain groups of beotic earthenware, similar to certain figures of the Campanian vases. In the tiredness I fall asleep... I wake up and I see a country of dream, as if I sleep however. The stone wait in the undulating ground. The countless brown cones marked by the Phoenician emblem. Long rosy clouds in the sky of aquamarine... The white cities that fall in the evening. The pale moon in the clear sky."
And how to prevent during this reading the birth and growth of an irrepressible desire to take a bike and take a long ride in this enchanted corner of Puglia so beautifully described, along those "white streets between dry walls" in the plains, interspersed with the curves of the countryside, which approach the earth and its fragrances.
