About the event
The 2024 Rally returns to the sunny lands of Southern Italy, where the sea breeze blows over the infinite expanses of olive trees and vineyards, the blinding white lime covers the small houses, the ancient villages are a treasure chest of popular traditions lost elsewhere. An itinerary to discover the testimonies of the Norman Swabian era, and the legacy of Frederick II of Swabia, the "Stupor Mundi" who left his legacy of Castles and Fortified Farms in these lands and throughout Southern Italy, like Castel del Monte, a unique masterpiece of medieval architecture, an architectural synthesis of cultural elements from Europe, the Muslim world and classical antiquity.
From the expanses of olive trees in the Itria Valley in Puglia, through the UNESCO sites of Alberobello and Castel del Monte, to the remote hills of Daunia, up to Basilicata region , with a stop at the "Sassi" of Matera (UNIESCO Heritage), the canyons of the Gravine, the archaeological sites of Grumentum and Metaponto, evidence of the settlements of Magna Graecia. In the land of wines and Masserie there will be no shortage of tastings in the cellar, folkloristic hospitality to the rhythm of "pizzica" and "taranta", traditional dances.
