Alberobello e i suoi trulli sono una tappa obbligata delle mie vacanze in Puglia, la mia città dista pochi chilometri, e spesso la sera, per sfuggire dal caldo afoso, si parte e si va tutti a mangiare "la carne alla brace" in una delle tante macellerie con tavoli all'aperto di Alberobello. Mi piace come sempre, dare qualche cenno storico, ed ecco, pochi accenni sull'origine dei famosi trulli. I trulli erano già presenti nella Valle d'Itria fin dalla preistoria, quando cominciarono a diffondersi i tholos, costruzioni a volta usate per seppellire i morti. Oggi, i trulli più antichi di Alberobello risalgono al XIV secolo: quando questo territorio disabitato, venne dato al primo Conte di Conversano da Roberto d'Angiò, principe di Taranto e poi re di Napoli dal 1309 al 1343, come ricompensa per i servigi che il Conte aveva reso durante le Crociate. La zona venne quindi ripopolata, spostando interi insediamenti dai feudi vicini come quello di Noci. Comunque, da alcuni studi, risulta che già verso l'anno Mille sorsero degli insediamenti rurali da entrambe le parti del fiume che adesso scorre sotterraneo. Le abitazioni a poco a poco, divennero dei veri e propri villaggi, chiamati: Aja Piccola e Monti. La costruzione a secco, senza malta, dei trulli, venne imposta ai nuovi coloni di modo che le loro abitazioni potessero essere smantellate in fretta: un metodo efficace per evitare le tasse sui nuovi insediamenti imposte dal Regno di Napoli. La maggior parte degli storici tuttavia concorda che questa tecnica edilizia fosse dovuta, innanzitutto, alle condizioni geografiche del luogo, che abbondava della pietra calcarea utilizzata nelle costruzioni. A metà del XVI secolo l'area di Monti era già occupata da una quarantina di trulli ma fu solo intorno al 1620 che Alberobello acquisì la fisionomia di un insediamento indipendente dalla vicina Noci, arrivando a contare circa 3500 persone verso la fine del XVIII secolo. Nel 1797 il villaggio ottenne dal Re di Napoli Ferdinando IV di Borbone il titolo di città reale. Il nome attuale deriva dal latino medievale della Regione, “silva arboris belli”. Critiche, commenti e consigli, come sempre, super graditi. Grazie.
