If you are visiting Puglia you can’t ignore focaccia barese. It’s Italian focaccia, but not as you know it. This version is rather special, and specific to Puglia.

Here are our suggestions where to try some in Bari, Altamura and beyond.

This was in w/ a number of pictures my aunt had. Everyone notes her death date as 1880 because she "disappears" however, clue in bottom left corner: Stone photography...Robert Stone was photographing in Caldwell, Texas in 1896....so she was at least alive until then, if not longer! #clues 🤩
