Locorotondo (Italy) | Light 804 | Lighting Locorotondo overlooks the top of one of the hills above Valle d’Itria, in Apulia. Harmoniously round – as the name itself suggests – Locorotondo owes its name to the shape of the first settlement, which was established sometime around the year 1000. Dove la Murgia degrada si incontra la Valle d’Itria, un cuscinetto di verde a metà strada tra Adriatico e Jonio e su questa pianura, circondata da alture, si affaccia Locorotondo. Sorge linda e silente sulla sommità di un colle. Armoniosamente tondeggiante come il toponimo stesso suggerisce, Locorotondo deve il suo nome alla morfologia assunta dal primo centro abitato, sorto attorno al mille. Locorotondo (Italy) | Light 804 | Lighting The first huts of this farming village were, in fact, built on a fitted ‘plateau’, right next to one another, with a circular plan, almost in an attempt to protect the land they had managed to squeeze out of the surrounding oak forests, to make it arable and fertile. Le prime casupole di un villaggio composto da agricoltori furono edificate su un altopiano attrezzato, addossate le une alle altre, a pianta circolare, quasi a voler cingere a corona quella terra strappata a boschi di querce e per renderla coltivabile e fertile.

The blue of the sky turns increasingly black, creating different atmospheres as the night goes on… all the way ‘til dawn. Di notte il fascino delle luci si riflette sul bianco delle case e il colore del cielo da blu diviene sempre più nero, creando atmosfere diverse con l’avanzare della notte fino… all’alba.
