LIFE
ON
THE
HEEL
The spiky heel of Italy’s boot,
the Puglia region is a land in a
sumptuous time warp — where
sleepy villages are silent except
for birdsong; where roads wind
through centuries-old olives
groves; and where locals perform
miracles with ingredients plucked
from that famous terra rossa
