Venetian Polignano

Even in Polignano there's a little bit of Venice.

In fact, the beautiful town on the sea reports in its past years of domination by the Serenissima Republic, until 1530, when this and other provinces were returned to the Kingdom of Naples, after twenty years of Venetian domination.

Still today, visible in the center of the city, the Doge's Palace dominates. Its position, strategic, sees on one side the city walls and the Porta Grande, on the other the Palace of the Feudal Lord. A strongly symbolic point of rank and authority.

Despite its simple and undecorated structure, it reflects the ideal of solidity and fortitude required by its function.

Polignano and Venice are also united by their proximity to and marriage with the sea, which the two peoples consider sacred: the one, with its sheer coastline and its white waves of foam. The other, in its meeting the waters of the Lagoon with delicacy, almost brushing them in a romantic encounter.
