Bari is the capital of Apulia and yet has long been underestimated. And yet Bari Vecchia is a medieval mesh between the old harbour and the open Adriatic. Here, people still live on the ground floor, with an open door to the alleyway.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paths are narrow, the houses brightly plastered, with freshly laundered linen stretched across them. Plastic chairs in front of the entrances, a quick greeting, a glance out of the window opposite. Bari Vecchia is not a museum quarter. Around 3,000 people live here, many families for generations. Real life takes place between the cathedral and the Norman castle (Castello Svevo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
