Where the Murgia is degraded, there is the Itria Valley, a green cushion halfway between the Adriatic and Ionian, and on this plain, surrounded by small hills, overlooks Locorotondo. It rises innocent and silent on the top of a hill that surrounds the last Baresian murgian foothills.
Harmoniously rounded as the local name suggests, Locorotondo owes its name to the morphology assumed by the first inhabited center, raised around a thousand.
The first houses of a village made up of farmers were built on a well-equipped plateau, leaning against each other, with a circular plan, almost as if to crown that land torn with oaks and ferns to make it fertile and fertile. Ancient village as authentic as a few, thanks to the fact that you are completely inhabited and the cure that its inhabitants pose to you; you think that every inhabitant washes the street in front of his own home, shining the white limestone "chianche" of which he is made.
