There is growing evidence that the famous Riace Bronzes, discovered by a diver off the coast of Calabria in 1972, had been submerged near Riace by traffickers just a few months earlier in order to hide them. They had been secretly recovered from the seabed near Brucoli in Sicily in the late 1960s.

Grilled octopus anyone?
Christmas in Puglia - the Christmas lights that never were!
In common with many others, we travelled to Bari to see the amazing viral marine-inspired illuminations.
But they weren't there!
They were a creative digital project by two local videomakers, digitally enhanced using Al.
Whoops!

17 November 1988 'Cinema Paradiso' (in Italy 'Nuovo Cinema Paradiso') goes on general release in Italy. It is a total flop everywhere, except in one cinema in Messina and, maybe, it only goes on to win an Oscar due to the determination of Giovanni Parlagreco, owner of that cinema [Thread] >> 1

This is a lie.
There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

In Puglia we have two seasons: summer and not-summer. As we move into October, we prepare to move from one to the other.
It’s not just the weather. Away from the main cities, towns move into a semi-hibernation. Generally, we don’t recommend not-summer in Puglia!
