Between Vico del Gargano and Specchia the distance is 376 kms. Two villages at the
extremeties of the region; one in the province of Foggia and the
other in the heart of the Salento.

But in common they are both
aspiring to recover the spontaneous architecture with inspiring projects
to transform their abandoned houses at risk of disappearing altogether
into tourist aparments. In contrast with other towns
of italy, the villages of Puglia have a solid stone architectural
foundation tied closely to its lands. Even though the houses maybe
simple, they have important characteristic star or barrel vaulted
ceilings or ornamental portals.
Vico
del Gargano, the city of love as it is also known, sits 445
metres above sea level, circling below are olive and orange trees and
the door to the Umbra Forest yet only 8kms from the Adriatic. At
first sight, it appears the poor relative of the other villages of Gargano with its air of decadence and abandoned houses, almost
frozen in time. Rooms on the first floor housing the farm animals and
those on the ground floor for habitable purposes, chimney pots
notched into the roof top whilst in the cantina the spoils of hard
labour are sheltered.
