The Addante bakery, known as “Cicoria”, was the ancient heart of Turi: a place where the scent of bread filled the narrow streets and brought the community together. Founded in the 16th century, between stone and fire it preserved gestures, traditions and everyday solidarity. Not just a bakery, but an extended family — a living memory of a town where the smell of bread meant home, sharing and identity.

In the Apulian context, “meh” is less a word with a fixed meaning than a flexible expressive unit, capable of conveying multiple meanings through a single tone of voice — much like a glance, a shrug, or a facial expression, but verbalized. This quality makes it a distinctive feature of everyday communication, not only in dialects, but also in contemporary popular culture.

Tette delle Monache tell a story of grace and technique, of careful hands and unhurried time, born behind the grilles of convents in southern Italy. In Altamura, nuns perfected light sponge mixtures and velvety creams, shaping soft domes of sponge cake filled and delicately dusted with icing sugar. Today, this pastry is a symbol of authentic Puglia: a fragment of memory in which sweetness is born of restraint, care and silence.
