This is a lovely square in Lecce on Sunday and a nice place for a meal.
On Monday we moved from our Hotel to the small mountain town of Altomonte about 200 miles south. On the way there we visited another Unesco World Heritage site the "Sassi" Caves of Matera. These were occupied until the late 50s and early 60s by up to 20,000 people living in absolute poverty. The inhabitants were moved to Council accomodation and then in the 90s the area was given Unesco status. It is ironic but mow the only people who can afford to live in the caves are the wealthy.
