The Ionian coast in Puglia, southern Italy: bring your own umbrella, beach chairs, and a cooler. Enjoy a front row seat on any of the amazing beaches along the 100+ km coastline. Surrounded by perfect sand and pine trees, lulled by the sound of the sea, the world just melts away.

July still has room for everyone, but I would avoid August when all of Italy goes on its annual leave and flees to the sea.

Faraglioni di Sant'Andrea or “Sea Stacks of Saint Andrew", striking coastal rock formations on the Adriatic coast in the Apulia (Puglia) region of southern Italy.

When you are in Puglia the hard choice is between the Adriatic coast on the east with its rock formations, turquoise waters and charming Otranto or the Ionian coast on the west with its never ending sandy beaches, pine trees, azure waters, the most beautiful in Europe. Avoid August at any cost when the whole Italy is down there.

Since I am pinning this to my profile, I am shortening it dramatically. To read the post in its entirety and understand exactly what I am seeking and the research I have done so far, please go here.

I love opera singers from prior to the 1950's. My favourite is Tito Schipa, and I am attempting to learn what he taught and how he learned. I have his ten vocal exercises but not the booklet that came with them. I wrote to Seth Riggs, who studied under him, but he never responded. I am now researching one of Schipa's most famous teachers, Alceste Gerunda (1847-1917) since he studied with him for six years. Gerunda's teacher was Saverio Mercadante. Gerunda himself taught at the Convitto Palmieri, which now olds the Bernardini Library, prior to opening his own school in his home. I wrote to the library but never heard from them. They have two books that interest me, namely "ALCESTE GERUNDA E LA SCUOLA LECCESE DI CANTO" by Silvia Mandurino (ITES 1969) and "IN MEMORIA DEL MAESTRO ALCESTE GERUNDA NE L'AVVIVERSARIO PRIMO DE LA SUA MORTE" by Giulia) Lucrezi (Palumbo. (I found the first online, and while it is fascinating, it doesn't contain what I need.) What I am seeking is anecdotes regarding his lessons, notes he may have written, books he may have used, the pedagogy he followed, etc. I am totally blind and live in New Jersey, America, so it's not possible for me to travel to Lecce. I posted to their subreddit, but I will leave this here in case anyone in the wider community can help. If you or someone you know teaches real bel canto (no scientific or modern ideas), I would love to hear from you.

Last month I had the pleasure to travel the north of my country, Portugal 🫶🏽 I absolutely fell in love with Apúlia! #apulia

A wide shot captures a solitary figure standing atop a weathered, yellowish-brown stone bastion, overlooking a turbulent, dark grey sea under a dramatic sky. The sky is filled with heavy, dark clouds, but a break allows beams of sunlight to pierce through and illuminate a patch of the choppy water. White-capped waves crash against a rocky shoreline at the base of the bastion. The overall mood is one of brooding beauty and isolation.

My first carousel on here, still getting used to the interface so hopefully it works out ok. I don’t do B&W photography very often but thought it was appropriate for Puglia, when I visited last year. I’d just finished watching Netflix’s Ripley so think something to do with Italy in B&W was stuck in my mind.

A monochrome scene of a city in Italy with an elegant historical church straight ahead, and the crowd silhouetted against it.

A tableau of a small shop in Ostuni, Italy, with a small arched entry half covered by a stone staircase, and an old bicycle leaning against the wall.

A close up of some art for sale outside a shop in Italy, with a bucket of paintbrushes in the foreground slightly out of focus.

A street vendor with a small truck passing a shopping bag of vegetables to a couple of older customers. Strings of dried chillies are hanging from the back of his van.

On Wednesday our feet were itching so we took advantage of lovely weather for a mini caminho up the coast.

We walked the Litoral from the end of the Porto metro in Póvoa up to Apúlia. It was a nice mix of oceanfront walking and some stretches inland of the dunes where we got to enjoy the trees and wildflowers.

The rain chased us home the next day. It's easy to chicken out when you live on the Camino. 🙂
