Puglia & leggende II | I cento scalini
👩🏻❤️👨🏻 Puglia too has its own "Romeo and Juliet", they lived in Vico del Gargano, as @Pinucciosono narrates.
🫒It all started in an olive oil mill, where the love between Rocco and Soccorsa flourished. They came from two rival families and were forced to flee to be together.
A story that ended tragically, due to the hatred of the girl's father.
🌊To this date, on the night of San Rocco some still see them walking hand in hand on the beach of the 100 steps, in San Menaio, where they spent their only day as husband and wife.

Puglia & Legends II | The Cursed Tower
A cliff overlooking the sea and the scenic Tower of Santa Maria dell'Alto, in Nardò, are the symbols of today’s tale.
Pinuccio, in the company of his faithful buddy Sabino, tells the legend of Marta and Gregorio, two young lovers willing to do anything to escape the “ius primae noctis” imposed by the cruel one-eyed lord of Puglia.

Puglia & Legends II | The Knight and the Leopard 🐆
A hero who steals from the rich and gives to the poor—does it ring a bell?
We’re not talking about Robin Hood, but rather Santa Justa, the “righteous knight” who, with the help of his leopard, helped the people of Lucera during the Angevin siege.
The echo of his deeds can still be heard within the castle walls and in the tales of the people of Lucera, as Pinuccio explains here.

In Hoboken, New Jersey, the celebrations in honor of the Madonna dei Martiri have just concluded. A tradition that comes from Puglia, passed down by the Molfetta community for 98 years.
✨ Even miles away, the devotion, passion, warmth, and connection to one’s roots remain unbroken, and in fact, they also manage to captivate Americans, tourists, and curious onlookers.
🗽A grand celebration that culminates with the procession of the Madonna's statue on the Hudson River at the foot of the Statue of Liberty, while the glittering lights of traditional decorations wink at the lights of Manhattan, amidst music and the flavors of tradition.
