Hello Hivers,
On one of my recent trips exploring the Italian peninsula, I stumbled upon a city that's often overlooked but is truly breathtakingly beautiful. I'm talking about Gallipoli, in the Puglia region of southern Italy.
This area is famous for its crystal-clear sea. The azure panorama stretches as far as the eye can see, and it's impossible not to take a few photos! The name Gallipoli, in fact, derives from the Greek "Kale polis," meaning "beautiful city”.
Ciao cari Hivers,
In uno dei miei recenti viaggi alla scoperta della penisola italiana, mi sono imbattuta in una città che viene poco valorizzata ma che invece è di grande bellezza. Sto parlando di Gallipoli, nella regione Puglia, sud Italia.
Questo territorio è famoso soprattutto per il suo mare cristallino. L’azzurro del panorama si perde a vista d’occhio ed è impossibile non scattare qualche foto! Il nome Gallipoli, infatti, deriva dal greco “Kale polis”, ovvero “città bella”.

Puglia is a very important region for olive oil production. Olive oil is so important in this region that it's called "liquid gold".
In Gallipoli, there's a beautiful underground olive oil mill, recently renovated. It dates back to the 17th century and covers approximately 200 square meters. A unique gem!
La Puglia è una regione molto importante per la produzione di olio. L’olio d’oliva è talmente importante in questa regione che viene chiamato “oro liquido”.
A Gallipoli esiste un bellissimo frantoio ipogeo, che è stato recentemente ristrutturato. Risale al 1600 e si estende per circa 200 metri quadri. Un gioiello unico al mondo!

Apulian olive oil was famous throughout Europe because it was what allowed European cities to have lighting. Paris, London, Berlin, and Amsterdam, in fact, all used oil lamps in their nightlife.
Olive oil was also used in cosmetics, to make soap, and, of course, in cooking.
L’olio pugliese era famoso in tutta Europa, perché era quello che permetteva alle città europee di avere l’illuminazione. Parigi, Londra, Berlino e Amsterdam, infatti, utilizzavano tutte le lampade a olio nella loro vita notturna.
L’olio d’oliva veniva anche utilizzato nella cosmetica, per fare saponi, e ovviamente in cucina.
I really enjoyed this short trip to the city of Gallipoli and would recommend it to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Italian history. Thanks for reading!
See you next time,
