  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏛️🔥 As record breaking #heatwaves hit southern #Italy, residents are turning to 14th century '#trulli' homes for natural cooling.

    The #limestone structures use hydrothermal material properties and conical roofs to stay 7 to 14º C cooler than outside. Builders like Francesco Fragnelli in the Alberobello region say demand for both #restoration and new 'trulli' #construction is rising.

  4. Guarnieris bröckelndes Erbe

    In #Italien​s Provinz #Apulien schmücken #Trulli die Landschaft. Die Rundhäuser sind Kulturerbe. Angelo Nicola Guarnieri ist einer ihrer letzten Baumeister. taz.de/Trulli-Baudenkmaeler-im

    Schönes Zitat, das die Begeisterung des Trullibaumeisters zeigt: „Ich habe so eine große Liebe für Trulli, dass ich jeden so baue, als wäre er für mich selbst“

  6. Alberobello is a small town in Puglia in southern Italy with a quarter of houses known as 'Trulli' which describes the roofs which are set in a decorative pinnacle. The story is that when the Italian tax collectors came, the houses were built on drystone so easily dismantled to avoid tax.

  7. Pre-pandemic I lived in #Italy, and was lucky enough to have a work trip to #Puglia, within striking distance of #Alberobello. These extraordinary traditional houses (#trulli) are a World Heritage Site, dating as early as the 15th century, and some of them have these mysterious symbols painted on the roofs. They're believed to be a mixture of religious #symbolism (possibly with pagan roots) and astrological meaning.
