Tre Amici - Arteries Framed Print

This image is a part of a gallery that represents various interpretations of the trulli tops in Alberobello, Italy. The image has been digitally processed to offer more creative and decorative look.

The trulli, limestone dwellings found in the southern region of Puglia, are remarkable examples of mortarless construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighboring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of corbelled limestone slabs.
They are quite simple buildings to erect because the building process involves no cement – just placing rocks on top of each other. That means they are also quite easy to dismantle. Centuries ago, when the tax collector was coming from Naples to gather his dues from the locals, they all just took down their houses and so didn’t need to pay anything.
