Marvel at one of the most picturesque mansions in Grottaglie, the ceramics capital of Apulia. Recently opened to the public, the residence is not just a historic home, but a veritable treasure trove spanning millennia of history.
You will be welcomed personally by the owner, whose dedication has made it possible to bring authentic works of art back to light. The tour begins as you step through the main entrance, where you will be immediately transported back in time: you will walk on floors dating back to Magna Graecia and marvel at the splendour of perfectly preserved Roman mosaics.
Your experience continues in the heart of the building, among the remains of a medieval rupestrian church and the mysterious marks left by Templar crosses, evidence of a time when Grottaglie was a crossroads of faith and knights. The tour then leads to the beautiful 19th-century garden, where traditional Apulian terracotta jars provide the backdrop for stories about daily life and traditions in 19th-century Apulia.
This tour offers a perfect blend of archaeology, architecture, and ceramic art, presented by someone who has dedicated their life to preserving the magic of this unique place.
