Tarentum
Important colony of Magna Graecia, Taranto tells its story, stratified over time and in its various levels. Under the street level are hidden hypogea, necropolises, crypts and chamber tombs that lead back to the refined afterlife cult of the time, but also to that of an aristocracy that knew how to grasp the essence of life. On the surface, the ages intersect with the sea breeze and it unfolds in the ancient village. Seen from above, Taranto is a condensed history that intertwines with the sea and unfolds in the ancient village between noble palaces and underground jewels. The Mar Grande and Mar Piccolo, with a strategic position, have made it the protagonist of important historical events.
