The Calvary That Remains
There are works of art that do not ask for attention, but offer presence. The wooden Calvary preserved in the Church of San Giovanni Battista in Turi is one of these: it does not impose itself on the viewer, but gently accompanies the gaze. Created in the seventeenth century, it speaks the slow language of devotion, where art becomes prayer and matter turns into a story of the soul.

The Ritual of Quagghiète
There was a gesture that came before the dish itself, a small domestic ritual that needed no explanation. A small saucepan on the fire, water slowly heating, a drizzle of olive oil poured without measuring, a tiny piece of chilli, a pinch of salt. Nothing more. One would wait in silence until the first bubbles began to rise from the bottom of the pot, discreet yet unmistakable: that was the signal. No timer was needed, no scales required.

Vito Leonardo di Tonno (1660–1730)
Vito Leonardo di Tonno (1660–1730), born in Turi, entered the Piarist Order at a very young age, combining spiritual formation with technical knowledge. After moving to Castelnuovo (Manduria), he established himself as an architect of great merit, remembered as an architectus peritissimus. His works reflect a sober, functional approach to architecture, conceived as an educational tool. A man of charity and discipline, he devoted all his resources to the poor and to the buildings of the Order.
