« When you leave beautiful places, you carry them with you wherever you go » Welcome to Puglia!!! (or Apulia if you prefer…) My name is Fabio, I am an experienced licensed tourist guide of Apulia. I have been giving tours since 2002 to English and French speaking clients from all over the world. I also worked as an employee at the Lecce Municipality tourist info point for 17 years which has given me a wide perspective of my region from both an institutional and a touristic point of view… I have been usually involved in giving Institutional tours to Representatives (Ministers, Ambassadors and so on) during their official visits and in giving shore , private, customized and small group tours. I work mainly in the south-center part of the region, which comprises the Salento and Itria valley areas, providing tours of LECCE, OTRANTO, LEUCA, GALLIPOLI, GALATINA, OSTUNI, ALBEROBELLO, POLIGNANO, LOCOROTONDO, CISTERNINO, BRINDISI and other beautiful smaller villages in the same area. Half day, full day, multi day, landscape, food and wine and customized tours are provided according to your needs and tastes. I am in love with this area and during tours I strive to transmit that same love and passion to my clients. This part of Apulia is mostly sea, sun, sights, traditions and TASTY MEDITERRANEAN FOOD!!! Then, the question is "What are you waiting for…???!!!" Come and visit this part of Italy with me… I will help you visit the main attractions, to learn our history and culture and most of all to immerse yourself in our traditions living what locals live and eating what locals eat. I like giving my clients a vision of Apulia from a local guy point of view including also workshops, food and wine tastings and farmhouse's experiences during my services. I always help visitors with my personal recommendations on what to explore (places) and where to reserve (places to eat) after my tours. In other words I do my best to help you discover the heart and soul of this beautiful part of the region. As I always say at the end of my tours " if you have had good vibes during your stay here, tell your friends and relatives to come and visit us because Apulia has always loved tourists and always will…" Hope to hear from you super very soon … -Licensed Tourist Guide (Tourist guide license 00402 Apulia Region) -Degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures (English and French) at the University of Lecce -Former employee at the Lecce Municipality Tourist Department NONE

Overview of your Lecce tour

An Important Jewish community settled in Lecce between the XVth and XVI century, a very wealthy trading period for the town. Unfortunately the anti Jewish laws issued by Ferdinand I and Charles V made pogroms begin and the leccese Jewish community was persecuted and forced to leave Salento. During my tour you will discover all the different areas of the old Jewish neighborhood from the Medieval times, when the jewish colony was welcomed by locals to the renaissance period when jewish people held their markets. We will also visit the Beautiful sea town of St. Maria al Bagno, where the Memory Transit Camp Museum is Located. I have been delivering this tour since 2016, when I also organized the exhibits "Jewish settlements in Salento the hidden story" in Lecce. It is a very specific tour where visitors can experience an unusual part of the history, usually covered by the Latinization system imposed since the coming of the Spanish (XVI century).
