RE: I love Alberobello (part 2)

in #ita5 years ago

This is probably the 3rd or fourth post I see that reports from some unique town in the Mediterranean. I can't have enough of this amazing towns.
It just blows my mind how neat they are, how beautiful, how well preserved. I can imagine how hrmonious those societies are, just to agree to have all houses painted white.
Those roofs are just so peculiar. They are made of some flint or rock, right?
We see the old B&W picture and we see how the town looks now and it is one of those magical moments where a place looks even better in the present time.
My favorite picture are with the lights on and some daylight still in the background. They really look magical.
I'd love to visit a place like that. I don't know what living in a place like that would be like, but I think I would be happy to spend some time there.
Thanks for sharing such a magical place.

However, I have been informed: The trullo is a type of construction conical in stone.
I had the fortune to sleep in a three - day shaft and it was a unique experience of ☺️ Council for all! Where are you from?

Cool. So you recommend anyone to sleep in these houses! I wonder do they have heating/air conditioner? I am guessing they don't. Yet, i wonder how they manage summer heat and winter cold.
I am from Venezuela. At some point we had a huge italian population and anything italian was in a way close to our hearts. Now most 3rd and 4th generations have left

we had the air conditioning, with more rooms, kitchen and bathroom: practically a very nice mini apartment inside ☺️
Surely it is a beautiful country also yours, too bad that the Italians have gone away 😔 and where have they emigrated?

Most of the old generation I know stayed (they say they are too old to re-commence), but most descendant from Italian, Portuguese, Spanish ancestors have one back to their great grandparents countries or somewhere lese in Europe.
Most europeans who came to Venezuela after WWII became a powerful upper-middle class, owners of businesses (restaurants, supermarkets, bakery stores, shoe stores, etc). Most of those business stopped being profitable under the current crisis. Some of them just chaged their line of business, but still (their children became the object of threats and kidnaps; with the money they had they were better off somewhere else)

What a pity! These are sad stories, I feel sorry for this poor people, even here in Italy, they're changing everything: They close up a lot of historical shops and they open up new ones all the time... now I understand, thank you for your detailed explanation 😁
A hug 🤗
