Lecce
Universally known as the ‘Florence of the South’ for its architectural and historic
legacy, Lecce offers today’s visitor much more than a dip into the art and sumptuousness
of the past.
In fact, the city has completely changed its appearance over the last few years,
thanks to the implementation of an urban requalification process comparable to
an authentic ‘Renaissance’, which has involved both the public and private spheres,
with renovation and salvage operations, improvements to the road network, safety,
and services.
Shops, facilities, accommodation capacity, refreshment and catering, art, shows
and nightlife have all been elevated to levels encountered in the more famous,
but not more beautiful, tourist destinations in other regions. All enhanced by
the peninsula of wonders awaiting discovery that stretches into the sea at Lecce’s
feet. |
