		I have planned the trip around one family, which hails from Accettura, in the province of Matera, in the region of Basilicata, which is next door to Campania, where our farm base is. But other people/families are welcome to join us if the itinerary fits.
		We’ll stay in nearby and very picturesque Matera for two nights (in a hotel with “domiciles,” otherwise known as rooms, built into Matera’s famous caves, the sassi), then head to Lecce, which is a fabulous Baroque city in Puglia, near the tip of Italy’s stiletto heel.
		On the way, or on our way back to Paestum, we’ll stop in Alberobello, where Puglia’s famous trulli are clustered (trulli are ancient domed farm buildings), and in Barile, where the very fashionable wine, Aglianico del Vulture, is made.
