Between stones and stories of an authentic village
Discover the enchantment of the ancient village of Turi, amidst cobbled alleys, hidden squares, and centuries-old stories. A journey that takes you back in time, to experience the authenticity of a place rich in culture, tradition, and charm.
At the Borsa Internazionale del Turismo in Milan, within the official stand of the Regione Puglia, the initiative “Cuori di Sapori” was presented as part of the strategic development path of Turi Borgo Antico, entrusted to Graf Srl.
In the dialect of Turi, some expressions are more than words: they are layered stories, cultural inheritances that come from far away. “Jèje figghie alla gaddìna bianghe” is one of them.
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.
