2021. I created a pocket guide that collects itineraries related to our cultural and folkloristic traditions, with the aim of offering travellers an authentic and unforgettable experience. Through this guide, I have built a 'network' that connects municipal administrations and local food companies, promoting not only the territory but also an ecommerce activity that enhances our typical products.

The guide, which is completely in colour, is designed for those who want to experience an experiential journey outside the usual circuits, with the aim of contributing to the deseasonalisation of tourist flows, making it possible to discover the beauty of our land all year round.

The exhibition and publishing project 'Plenilunio di Primavera: The Easter events of Holy Week between Apulia and Spain' was born from the desire to affirm one's belonging to a territory whose cultural and tourist potential is often unknown, from the love for traditions to be safeguarded, and from the possibility of offering visitors an emotionally charged journey of faith and culture, in which the ancient Easter rites of Holy Week are revived in the processional events that take place in Apulian and Spanish municipalities.

A splendid colour photographic catalogue recounting the most evocative moments of the Easter processional rites in Apulia and Valladolid accompanied the travelling photographic exhibition.

2020. This volume, purchased by the University of Valladolid, collects the most exciting moments of the events we organised for the tourist-cultural promotion project Plenilunio di Primavera, dedicated to the rites of Holy Week between Spain and Apulia.

It was a journey through concerts, photographic exhibitions and conferences, which took us from the towns of Molfetta, Vico del Gargano, Bitonto, and Lecce to the heart of Spain, to Valladolid.

What at first seemed like organisational madness became reality thanks to the extraordinary collaboration with the Feart cooperative in Molfetta.

Every page of this photostory bears witness to the intensity and passion with which we experienced and shared these events.

Patronal festivals in Apulia are something magical, suspended between the sacred and the profane. They are moments when our communities dress up to celebrate, in an explosion of lights, colours, sounds and fires. Every year, these special events unite the Christian faith with our rich popular culture, creating deep bonds that are passed down from generation to generation.

I invite you to travel these itineraries with me, from Gargano to Salento, to discover the most authentic soul of Apulia. It is a journey that will accompany you all year round, revealing the true essence of this land.

If you would like to discover more about these fascinating traditions and see how we can work together to promote local culture and festivities, contact me: I am here to explore new opportunities with you.

2016. This extraordinary work of research and documentation offers a unique immersion into the Easter rites and patronal festivities of Apulia, traversing the entire region, from the Gargano to Salento.
 

Each tradition is recounted with meticulous care, illustrated with splendid photographic images that capture the depth and beauty of these moments of faith and culture. The work is enclosed in an elegant slipcase that holds the two volumes, the symbol of a publishing project of the highest quality, designed to enhance and preserve the richness of Apulian traditions.
 

Produced in a limited edition, every detail, from the choice of materials to the care taken in printing, bears witness to the efforts made to create a product that is both a tribute to Puglia and a precious gift directly requested by President Mattarella, during a meeting at the Quirinale, to our Councillor for Tourism Loredana Capone.
