Why go to the Gargano? I never tire of a trip to the Gargano penninsula in Puglia. In some ways this little bump on Italy's boot represents the Italy of "how it was", the one we remember in our hearts from the boom years of the 50s and early 60s, when the work was hard and the living was easy, and the music that told the story flowed from America to Italy and back again.

So did citrus; locals made a living selling fruit to Americans from the two seasons of citrus the Gargano's unique climate provides. Still today there are endless and fragrant groves of lemons and oranges between the vineyards and olive groves.
