Lecce is the most lovely and deep warm color, a soft creamy yellow. Apparently it is the color of the local limestone.
Oh, the food. And the beauty of the buildings and the scenery.
Today we toured Museo Archeologico Faggiano. A private citizen tore up his damp floor to renovate for a restaurant and found Templar cisterns and a nunnery and ancient pottery and escape tunnels to hide from the Turks.
There is a whole city underneath this city, passageways to the amphitheater and tunnels for escape. It all lies under the current bustling city.
Anna said we would love Lecce and we do. It is a happy and friendly town, full of beautiful antiquity and fresh energy. We are heading out soon to tour the Duomo and then to meet the Bici people.
