“TURIBORGOANTICO” FINDS ITS VESTAL

Margherita Calefati Brings Turi’s Ancient Heart to Life

Talented artist Margherita Calefati unveils a unique and captivating work inspired by the millennial history of Turi. Within the framework of the TuriBorgoAntico project, Calefati has created a drawing of a Vestal—a figure that, in her interpretation, has silently watched over the ancient stones of the town for more than five centuries.

This Vestal is not merely a symbol of protection and sacredness; she embodies the profound connection between tradition and the mysterious aura surrounding Turi. Ethereal yet imposing, the figure channels the strength of the past, shining into the present, awakening the town’s enigmatic spirit that guards its legends and culture with devotion.

Calefati’s drawing, with its visual and symbolic power, invites visitors to immerse themselves in the authentic essence of Turi, where every corner tells a hidden story and every stone seems to whisper its secret. Through this extraordinary artistic interpretation, the TuriBorgoAntico project offers a fresh way to experience the town, rediscovering the magic woven through its history and contemporary life.

This creation is not only a tribute to Turi’s past but also an invitation to explore the mystery that continues to surround its ancient heart.
