Alberobello is a small town in Puglia in southern Italy with a quarter of houses known as 'Trulli' which describes the roofs which are set in a decorative pinnacle. The story is that when the Italian tax collectors came, the houses were built on drystone so easily dismantled to avoid tax.

Have you heard of the beehive Trulli houses of Alberobello, in Puglia? When we were there a couple years ago we had a double delight: we happened to be there at the same time as groundbreaking Zimbabwean musician Stella Chiweshe (pictured here, and in the comments), who couldn't have been nicer. This UNESCO heritage site is something to put on your bucket list.
