Puglia
Altamura, Puglia, Italy
Luoghi di Pitti sits out in the old Puglian countryside: stone, light, and a great deal of open sky. It's where we'll say our vows and share our table with the people we love most.
29 May 2027
How the day unfolds. The times are a rough guide, so there's no need to watch the clock.
For anyone who'd rather not drive. Hop on and leave the roads to us.
Arrive and settle in with a glass of something before things begin.
We say our vows.
Aperitivo first, then dinner, then an after-party for as long as you can last.
In the small hours, the bus runs from the venue back into town. Stay till the end.
Puglia
Puglia is one of Italy's most beautiful and least-discovered regions. If you're travelling from afar, we warmly encourage you to stay a few extra days and explore.
Rent a car if you can. Half the joy is driving its rustic backroads.
Here's one way to make a full trip of it.
1 to 2 days before the wedding
Fly into Bari Karol Wojtyła and head straight into the city. Drop your bags and walk the seafront. The Lungomare Nazario Sauro is one of the longest in Europe and best enjoyed at dusk with a Peroni in hand. In the evening, make your way to the old town for dinner near Piazza del Ferrarese, where the restaurants spill out onto the square and the pace of life slows right down.
The day before the wedding
Drive 50 minutes south-west to Santeramo in Colle, our hometown. We'll be putting on a relaxed pre-wedding gathering in the evening, a chance to meet family and friends before the big day. We'll also be running a bus from Santeramo to Luoghi di Pitti, so you can enjoy the day without worrying about driving to the venue.
The wedding night
After the reception, you're welcome to stay in Santeramo. We'll be running a bus from Luoghi di Pitti back into town, so there's no need to worry about driving. There are several good places to stay in and around the town, and we're happy to share recommendations.
The day after the wedding
The day after the wedding is a Sunday, so this one costs you no time off at all. You're already here, so make the most of it. Matera, just 30 minutes from Santeramo, is one of Italy's most extraordinary cities: its Sassi cave dwellings, carved into the ravines, are a UNESCO World Heritage site and unlike anywhere else. Pair it with Altamura, where the medieval old town and its legendary DOP bread reward even a short stay. You can see both in a single day, though Matera is worth an evening if you can manage it. Lit up against the night sky, it's one of the most haunting views in the south.
If you want to add a couple of days
You'll want about two days to do this stretch justice. The timing is kind to you: Monday 31 May is the spring bank holiday in the UK, so the long weekend already carries you through Monday and you'll only need a day or two of leave for the rest. Drive east toward the Adriatic, stopping in Alberobello to walk among the trulli. From there the coast opens up: Polignano a Mare for a dramatic clifftop swim, then a few slow days based around Monopoli or Savelletri, two lovely harbour towns with excellent restaurants. In late May and early June the sea is warm and the crowds have yet to arrive. If this is where your trip ends, Bari airport is your natural way home, an easy drive from anywhere along this coast.
Got a few more days?
Set aside about four days for the Salento on its own. Add it to the Adriatic coast and you're looking at the best part of a week away, but it earns every day. Lecce is unmissable: a Baroque city carved from warm golden limestone, with elaborate church façades, shaded piazzas, and a Roman amphitheatre right in the centre. From there, work your way down the coast: Gallipoli, built on an island and surrounded by some of the clearest water in Italy; Porto Selvaggio, a protected park where pine forests tumble down to rocky coves of extraordinary clarity; and finally Santa Maria di Leuca, at the very tip of the heel where the Adriatic meets the Ionian. Don't skip Otranto, the white city that watches over the strait, on the way back up. When it's time to head home, Brindisi airport is handy from this part of Puglia, worth checking alongside Bari, especially if your car rental allows a different drop-off.
