‘I Trulli dall’Allegria’ means ‘The Trulli of Good Cheer’. The last resident descendants of the original builders were a working family of eleven. The eldest brother played and taught traditional music to the local children. The trulli were therefore ever full of music and dancing.
I’m glad to say the tradition continues. A Bechstein grand is there for all to enjoy, and amateur and professional musicians and music-lovers are especially welcome guests. The traditional ‘good cheer’ is of course, extended to all visitors.
Martina Franca, just 6k away, is known as the ‘City of Music’. Its annual Festival is held in mid-July/August and frequently offers opportunities to attend high class performances of undeservedly rarely heard operas.

Benvenuti a Tutti !
