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. |
