Coastal Road Near Torre Lapillo

Highlight • Cycleway

Great race track right by the sea. The road runs directly along the sea for many kilometers. The asphalt is mostly easy to ride, even for racing bikes. Especially on weekends, the local cycling scene meets here for a ride. Traffic is also limited. Especially on weekends and between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., when it's lunchtime, there's really little going on 👍

A beautiful example of a medieval defensive tower on the coast of southern Italy with a museum of selected ceramics

As part of the activities for the knowledge and enhancement of ancient, modern and contemporary ceramics, the National Association of Friends of Ceramics carried out research on ceramic containers for wine, in particular the Grottagliese jar.
In Grottaglie the origins of the figurative art are lost in time, but it is the wine jar, called srulu in the local dialect, that characterizes the production of the last two centuries, when the wine for daily consumption was extracted from the capason in the srulu.
The word srulu derives from the Latin urceolus, a diminutive of urceus, orcio,
first adulterated in ursulu, then by apheresis in rsulu and finally by metathesis in
srulu.

The decorative motifs constitute the iconographic repertoire of the Grotagliese craftsmanship of the 19th and 20th centuries: from the anthropomorphic elements to the twisted, phytomorphic, landscape and geometric elements, up to the double continuous thread with daisies that always defines the limit of the artistic. It is therefore authentic folk art, expressing general feelings and views of authentic folk art, inspired by sophisticated or traditional models of thought.
