Imagine walking slowly through the white alleys of Bari Vecchia. The scent of freshly baked focaccia mixes with the distant echo of fishermen’s voices on the seafront. Then, suddenly, in front of you appears the Basilica of St. Nicholas. Massive, bright, solemn.

You are in Piazza dell’Odegitria, a small gem of light stone, where time seems to slow down. In front of you, discreet and collected, is the Church of San Giacomo. It is not a church that cries out for its presence: it is a place that can be discovered delicately, as the most precious stories do.
As you approach, you will immediately notice the simplicity of the façade...

You find yourself at the foot of the Bari Wall, with the sea wind caressing your face and the smell of salt coming from the port. From here begins a journey through time, one step at a time. The Wall is not just an ancient bastion : it is a tale of stone, a silent witness who for centuries has watched the city change, grow, protect itself.

Meditation “Like the sea touching the shore...”
You are on the seafront of Bari.
In front of you the sea opens like a page of blue, and the wind brings with it the scent of salt and the stories of this city. The waves caress the stone, the seagulls draw arches in the sky, and everything seems to move with a slow, ancient rhythm.
In this place where light meets water, you prepare to re-enter yourself.
Follow and repeat slowly ...

Imagine walking along the seafront of Bari, with the scent of the sea coming light and the noise of the boats of the old port accompanying your steps. Right here, in front of you, stands an elegant figure, ochre, with two towers that seem to silently guard the city: it is the Teatro Margherita, one of the most fascinating places in Bari.
And now, as you approach, let me tell you his story.

15

You stand before a large Pompeian red facade, elegant and imposing. It is the Teatro Petruzzelli, the beating heart of Bari, a place that tells not only the story of a city, but also the passion and resilience of an entire people.
This theater was not born at the behest of a king or a town hall, but from the dream of two brothers ...

16

Imagine being in the elegant heart of Bari. In front of you is Via Sparano, the street that has accompanied the life of the city for more than a century. It is the “good living room” of Bari, the place where steps become lighter and the gaze rises spontaneously to follow the harmonious lines of the buildings in the center.

And then, suddenly, as you walk down the street, he appears to you: the Mincuzzi Palace. You can't not stop.
