Travelling through time is a dream we have all had at least once in our lives. However, it is comforting to know that, in a way, we can do so through flavours, music, fashion, and stories. This is exactly what happens in a small town in Puglia, Carovigno, in the province of Brindisi, where there is a bar where time seems to have stopped in the 1960s. This is Picci Bar, opened four years ago by Pierangelo Oliva, a meeting point for those who love good drinks, good music, and experiencing the community in its entirety.

The inspiration for Picci was born in 2018, when Pierangelo permanently closed Torre Regina Giovanna, a place that had made history in the region with its major musical and cultural events. It was from here that the idea arose to create a political bar, taking advantage of the unique location of the venue, situated above the old Communist Party headquarters in Carovigno. A fusion of history, design, and social spirit makes Picci Bar a one-of-a-kind place.
