Sentado, soportando el frio y el hambre, la tarde de un domingo en este pueblo del Sur de Italia.

"Barroco de Lecce"

"Barroco de Lecce"

Lecce is the chief town of the Salento Peninsula flowing into the Leuca Cape where the ancients had marked the boundary of the Otranto Land, the actual bottom of Italy. Better than the other Apulia towns, Lecce maintains more an aristocratical, spiritual and intellectual distinction than an economic and commercial one, in the heart of a fertile and happy agricultural region. Thanks to its art beauty and richness and to the loyalty to its traditions, Lecce was called "Athens in Apulia" as well as "Florence of Baroque". The two surnames do fit the intellectual elegance of its inhabitants and the unique mark of most buildings. Lecce baroque features differently than other countries.
