Again we are staying right in the old city in a lovely B&B called SuiTetti which means on the roof in Italian as they have a nice terrace on the top level. But if you string the letters together in English it’s suitetti or small suite? Cute name anyway. It’s been recently renovated and they are still working on it, very nice place and they serve a great breakfast with cereal, fruit and yogurt. I felt full for a change.
We spent the day exploring the sights of Lecce: city gates, piazzas, churches, castles, even bike shops. Lecce is known for cartapesta or paper mache sculpture and there was a display about this. You also see many studio/shops of this nature.
We looked around for a particular gelateria but couldn’t find it so settled for another that was delicious anyway. Italy is full of gelaterie! We also found a caffé ghiaccio con latte di mandorle (iced coffee and almond milk) a specialty here, very tasty.
Home on the roof top.
The core of a paper mache statue is straw and wire.
These guys are putting down new cobble stone, the same way as forever.
Strange monty pythonesque sculptures holding up the Chiesa di Santa Croce.
Lecce Cathedral with a 5 story tower.
