Nestled into the heart of Puglia lies the seaside town of Bisceglie in southeastern Italy. I am here on an olive oil discovery, to slip into a slower pace and to delve for clues about what makes this such an alluring part of the country.
The people have a warmth and contentment about them. They seem satisfied with life and most that I have met have long lineages in Bisceglie. It’s all about family and their culture of which they are passionately proud.
A visit to the Fish Market on Friday got my adrenaline flowing and whet my appetite for the cooking classes I will attend. For now, let me share with you my favorite photos of the people and their livelihood.
My next story is on Pugliese cooking. Stay tuned!
Ciao for now.
Sending amore,
Maria

From sea to shining sea your blogs read like a life of discovery.

Wish I were there with you!
Hi Jane! Belle soeur means sister-in-law in French. It is the endearing term Mirna and I use for each other. She grows these Italian plums in Colorado and we both love them.
Eva! I wish you were here too! I’m almost olive oiled out if you can believe it! Looking forward to Tuscan time tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
