stone brick house hidden in a secret body
Italian friends tell me, Trulli at the local is" cone top housing" means that the stone white walls and black roof houses have existed for hundreds of years.Trulli town where Robbe, read some awkward-sounding, I like the name of the town's free translation ---" beautiful tree."
Italian territory is shaped like a boot, a" beautiful tree" is located in the heel on the boots belong to Puglia regionpopulation of one thousand people.Drive from the town about one hour drive east is the Adriatic Sea and stretches of white sandy beach.Are in town, shows no salty sea breeze, but they can bring the full experience hot and dry Mediterranean climate.Hills between grassland dotted with colorful flowers, like the movie" Under the Tuscan Sun," the performance of the Italian countryside.
" beautiful tree" is situated in two small hills, more than 1000 stone house next to the construction of Trulli.Into a stone house which looked down to find that the structure looks very simple: a square of limestone piled round the premises, the heap to a certain height and then use the sheet piling and laying the stone up, and gradually narrow the cap,became a conical spire.Column-free house no beams, slate and no cement between the adhesive, are piled in the entire Trulli.Trulli eyes this about 20 square meters, the middle is a large bed, put around some simple furniture, clean refreshing cool.Italian friends tell me that this building has undergone the test of centuries, need not worry about the risk of slate roof will collapse.Then he pretended mysteriously said:" Do not indiscriminate Lateluli stones, since they were an organ of the entire house, as long as the one pulling the stones, the Trulli will collapse!" " Whichone ah?" I could not suppress his curiosity." Well, nobody knows."
Italy's unique architectural specialty
Trulli stone house specialty is the Italian Puglia region, with more than 10,000 seats, distributed in 3a small town.However, only town was the United Nations as" World Heritage" as the most concentrated here, Jarno Trulli, is the real" Trulli capital."
on Trulli origin have several theories, one of the most popular one is that farmers have had to have labored in the wilderness stopovertabernacle, the most readily available in local limestone built a simple Trulli.As to why the authorities have stones, said to the king's taxes each year because officials have to collect taxes from peasants housing units.
before the arrival of the tax collectors, farmers tic organs bricks, Trulli roofs collapsed, house not a house, taxes on income not a naturalthe.And other tax collectors left, farmers quickly rebuild a Trulli out.In short, the historical origins of the peasant Trulli temporary small shack.Back then many landless peasants to Puglia region, had to choose this simple accommodation, over time, you get used to Trulli as a real Home.
" paradise town" has become invaluable
our quiet sunset stroll in " paradise trail" on all white Trulli eyeful.White stone walls, roof and the decorative patterns on the strange scarecrow hanging high on the wall, people feel like being in fairyland.When the sun sets, decorated with rooster wind vane style cooking wafted out of the stone chimney will smoke, this is a small number of residents still living in the Old City in preparation for dinner.In these circumstances I have to sigh," Heaven town" really deserved reputation.
Unfortunately, the world's heritage since the Trulli, the previous simple houses become invaluable.Tourists flock from around the world, has not been immune infected commercial atmosphere.Now, most of the stone house was converted into hotels and souvenir shops, a number of houses built on high ground, open terrace into the home owner has even paid observation deck.Our process model through the street sale of Trulli's small workshop, young artists are Trulli with the construction of stone, tapping into small pieces of stone, made of different sized micro Trulli, people put it down.I have no hesitation about pulling out 30 euros in exchange for a Trulli, Italy, as the" white Aventure" souvenirs.
