Trulli limestone houses at Alberobello

The trulli, the characteristic cone-roofed houses of Alberobello, Apulia, make up one of the 50 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Italy. The name derives from the late Greek word for dome in Italian, cupola and refers to the ancient stone houses with conical roofs, constructed with the abundant limestone from the plateau of Apulias Murge zone.The archaeological finds that is, the first trulli settlements date as far back as the Bronze Age, while the trulli still extant today go back to c. 1350; the more uneven and shaky structures were destroyed and reconstructed (rather than repaired) time and time again.Legend has it that this dry wall construction, made without mortar, was imposed on the peasants of the area in the 15th Century, by their lords the Counts of Conversano, in order to evade an edict by the Kingdom of Naples that demanded tribute, or tax, on every new urban construction. Indeed, these types of settlements came to be identified as temporary and unstable, easy to demolish, and not taxable. The reality is, however, that the trulli are anything but unstable. Their internal structure, compact and without any elements of support or linkage, remains marvelously durable and, although seemingly so, primitive they are not

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Trulli limestone houses at Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Italy. These unique cone-roofed structures are a testament to the rich history and architectural ingenuity of the region. The name "trulli" originates from the Italian word for dome, reflecting their distinctive conical roofs that were constructed using locally abundant limestone. The origins of these ancient stone houses can be traced back to as early as the Bronze Age, with some still standing today dating back to around 1350. Despite their seemingly primitive construction without mortar, legend has it that this dry wall technique was actually devised by local lords in order to evade taxes imposed on new urban constructions. Consequently, trulli settlements were considered temporary and unstable by authorities. However, contrary to popular belief, these trulli houses are far from fragile. Their internal structure is remarkably durable and self-supporting without any additional elements or linkages. This enduring design has stood the test of time and continues to captivate visitors with its rustic charm. Photographer Fernando Vazquez Miras beautifully captures the essence of these remarkable dwellings in this stunning print available at Fine Art Storehouse. It serves as a reminder of both Apulia's fascinating history and its architectural marvels that have become an integral part of Italy's cultural heritage.
